It's
taken me years to do it, but I now believe I've compiled what may well be the
single best collection of healthy (and not-so-healthy) lemonade recipes on earth.
I
don’t know about you, but when spring hits CasaDay, the suburban house where I
live and work from my home office, my salivary glands start mumbling sweet things
about lemonade.
Well,
way back when the summer of 2000 started, I decided to start sharing the best
of the lemonade recipes I'd collected over the years so others could enjoy the
delicious lemonades my family and I enjoy here in western North Carolina.
I
revised and improved this collection for several years after the initial version.
| Beet
Lemonade -- Sounds too healthy to be good, doesn't it? Well, you're in for
a big surprise. This stuff tastes great. |
| Best
Ever Lemonade -- Well, at least that's what the contributor
of this recipe thinks. |
Blueberry
Lemonade -- Oh, talk about a tasty combination. Once you know the two
secrets found with this recipe for preparing the blueberries, you'll be in lemonade
heaven. |
| Borage
Lemonade -- You probably don't even know what borage
is, but you'll have a keen appreciation for it after you have your first glass
of this tasty lemonade. |
| Butterhead
Lemonade -- Lettuce in lemonade? Well, I'm not pulling your leg on this one.
This stuff is tasty and healthy! |
| Citrusade
-- Lemons and oranges and a hint of lime make this recipe a fantastic combination. |
| Cucumber
Lemonade -- This one will be a big hit with you salad lovers, and it's
especially good on really hot summer days when the minerals in cucumbers are a
welcome relief to a sizzling bloodstream. |
| Fizzy
Cranberry-Lemonade -- Cranberries and a carbonated
addition are the keys to this interesting lemonade. |
| Flaxseed
Lemonade -- Constipated? Then try flaxseed lemonade
for a natural laxative that also tastes good. |
| Fresh
Lemonade -- Kind of a lame name for this lemonade, but
this recipe is a traditional one that the kids will love. |
| Front
Porch Lemonade -- You don't even have to have
a front porch to enjoy this recipe. |
Get
Rich Quick Lemonade (The $8,000 Recipe!) -- According
to the woman who submitted this recipe, "Chet, I have a mobile gourmet coffee
stand that I run in the summers, and a friend suggested I also sell fresh squeezed
lemonade to help sales on really hot days. I now give him free drinks for life,
as I made $8000 the first weekend I added this lemonade to my menu." |
| Ginger
Lemonade -- Like garlic, ginger has many wonderful health properties. With
the recipe, you not only enjoy lemonade but you also improve health. Whoa! |
| Ginger
Limeade -- How about a limeade recipe for something a little different.
Toss in the suggested amount of ginger and you have a tasty drink that's a lot
different. |
| Greenbrier
Tropical -- This recipe has been served for years to thirsty vacationers
at a bed and breakfast lodge in Tennessee. |
| Homemade
Peach Lemonade -- Oh, mercy, this recipe may well be one they use up
in heaven. Talk about good! |
| Iced
Tea Lemonade -- I don't like iced tea, but I know most people do. If you like
iced tea and lemonade, you'll love this stuff. |
| Kafir
Lemonade -- Kafir? What on earth is kafir? I'm not going to tell you,
but this marvelous recipe features a combination of ingredients that make an out-of-this-world
lemonade. |
| Kiwi
Lemonade -- The name speaks for itself. |
| Mint
Lemonade -- Ditto. |
| Mint
and Ginger Lemonade -- Double ditto. |
| Nectarine-Basil
Lemonade -- Another unusual combination of ingredients
that you've probably never considered as working together to make a great lemonade.
Wait til you taste this one. |
| Old
Fashioned Lemonade -- What would a collection be without a traditional,
old fashioned lemonade recipe? |
| Pam's
Healthy Lemonade -- If you don't want sugar in your diet, then Pam's
recipe will become a mainstay in your house this lemonade season. |
| Pineapple
Mint Lemonade -- Yep, it tastes as good as it sounds. |
| Purist's
Lemonade -- This recipe comes from the Keep It Simple, Stupid
school of healthy drink recipes. |
| Sicilian
Lemonade -- If you don't like this one, we'll send a guy over who'll
break your knees. Just kidding. Tony Soprano should serve this one at the BadaBing. |
| Sparkling
Mango Lemonade -- The taste of this recipe really is sparkling. And
with the added mango, oh me, good! |
| Spiced
Lemonade -- You won't call this recipe bland, not on your life. |
| Strawberry
Lemonade -- Strawberry lovers will go ape over this unusual recipe. |
| Strawberry
Lemonade 2 -- Ditto. |
| Vanilla
Lemonade -- My eldest son thinks this is the best lemonade recipe on
earth, and when he mixes up a batch and brings me a cold glass full, I have trouble
arguing the point with him. |
| Zesty
Cherry Lemonade -- Last but not least, this recipe is always a crowd favorite
at lemonade contests. |
