Here's a beverage that'll really hit the spot. Filled with tangy goodness, it'll quench your thirst any time of year. I like to use tree-ripened lemons and oranges that are so abundant here in Florida.Martha Schwartz, Sarasota, Florida Ingredients:
4-1/4 cups water, divided |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 cup lemon juice (about 4 lemons) |
3/4 cup orange juice (about 3 oranges) |
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
ice cubes |
lemon slices, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring 1-1/4 cups water and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer for 10 minutes; cool.
2. Transfer to a pitcher; add lemon and orange juices and peels. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Stir in the remaining water. Serve over ice. Garnish with lemon if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
