I have lots of big hearty dishes I want to share with you, but I've got to be honest, it's HOT. It really makes you not so motivated to stand over the stove. Ya know what I mean? I have been making some kind of fruity drink every afternoon for me and the kids to sip on. It's so refreshing to sit down to a big glass of lemonade or tea. This has been one of my favorites. So citrusy (Is citrusy a word?) Sweet and tart at the same time. Adding the zest makes such a difference, it holds so much of the flavor. Make your self a pitcher of this and cool off!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh lime juice ( about 4 limes)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice ( about 4 lemons)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice ( about 1 orange)
1 cup granulated sugar
garnish; fruit slices
Directions:
Take one of the limes, one of the lemons, and the orange and zest them into a pitcher. Fill a glass measuring cup to the 1/2 cup line. Microwave for 2 minutes or until boiling. Pour sugar into the boiling water and stir to dissolve. Combine juices and sugar water to pitcher. Add 4 cups cold water. Can be stored up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
