Lemonade

On a hot summery day, there’s nothing like a cold glass of tangy lemonade. My friend’s 7 year old daughter agrees with me. On Sunday, when the weather was at its best, she decide to start a lemonade stand. “Mom, where’s the Kool-Aid?” she asked. Kool Aid is not lemonade, not even close. I showed her how to cut lemons in half and juice them, then combine the juice with sugar and water for real, old fashioned lemonade. She was amused. the easiest way to juice a lemon is by hand, simply squeezing the lemon over a sieve or screen (to catch seeds). But, recently, I tried the Trudeau Juice Catcher, which has a seed -catching device built in. It’s quite handy, comes in small, and large, and is available in lots of fun colors. Plus, you can juice any citrus fruit you like. A small cup underneath the juicer catches all the tart liquid without making a mess.
It’s a very handy thing to have, especially if you’re craving lemonade.
