Citrus is in season, so abundant and so cheap it can seem hard to find ways to use it all. So here’s a refreshing drink recipe to help you along with it. Bonus points: it will remind you of summer, which inevitably comes around again.
Enjoy!
Light and Lovely Citrus Drink
Ingredients:
2 lemons
2 limes
2 oranges
2/3 to 1 c. sugar (to taste)
just under 2 quarts of water
Squeeze the juice from the lemons, limes and oranges into a little bowl or into the bottom of your 2-quart container. Add water to fill line. Stir. Add sugar to taste. Stir more.
Serve well chilled.
(This is not my own recipe but I do not remember from where I originally snagged it. I am not trying to be a recipe thief. Interestingly, recipe copyright is a confusing field; many people want The Pioneer Woman to fess up that she is stealing recipes from old Southern church cookbooks, but she doesn’t have to, because the recipes are not protected. She should, in my opinion, because to do otherwise is distasteful. But she could be like me and not remember where she got any of her…hundreds of…recipes. Hmm. Never mind.)
Wonderful!
