Seriously cute right?? Right?! |
During the summer months I am ALWAYS making fresh lemonade. There is something about a tall, cold glass of lemonade that is so refreshing on a hot and humid summer day. The downside to making fresh lemonade?? Squeezing all of those lemons. I've tried every way possible - squeezing by hand, the fancy (expensive) electric juicer, the the hand operated stainless steel juice press, the hand held juicer and finally... the one that worked best... the citrus reamer! It may seem old fashioned but for just about $6 you can pick one up and not feel guilty about splurging. I find that they are great for getting out every last drop of juice and are super easy to use.
Simple, easy to use, and best of all - cheap! |
So what's your favorite kitchen gadget?
Easy Lemonade Recipe
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (depending on the size of the lemons this could be 6-8)
6 cups of cold water
1/2 - 3/4 cup of sugar (feel free to add more or less to taste!)
Mix all ingredients in a pitcher, chill, enjoy!
You can take this basic lemonade recipe and make flavored lemonades by straining in fruit purees. Raspberry is a great, refreshing addition.
You know... I'm really regretting that we don't live together anymore. :-) A fresh glass of lemonade always hits the spot!
