A Healthier Lemonade 🍋

Image
Some of us are lemon people: lemon bars, lemon fettuccine, lemon soap. Lemonade on a summer day is one of life’s simplest pleasures. Riffing off Dollar Days at the local grocery store, when lemons are a dollar on sale, here is a healthier lemonade that’s bright and hydrating. Ingredients ·      1 cup coconut water Here’s a good one, https://amzn.to/3V0Kk7N Juice of 1 lemon 1–2 tsp agave or maple syrup Pinch of salt Optional: mint, thyme, or trace minerals Adjust to taste. Coconut Lemon Water High: Coconut water adds natural electrolytes Lemon brings acidity and vitamin C Agave/maple syrup are nutritive sweeteners — simply better sources of sweetener than hard white sugar… These are more complex flavor raves A pinch of salt turns this into a DIY electrolyte drink instead of a $40 online powder Lemons with benefits:   https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/6-lemon-health-benefits Ideal for lemonade: https://amzn.to/4eeRxo...

but not with these Mason Jars with lid and straw that are super fun. You can infuse different fruits and juices, add ice, syrups, and spices, have your iced coffee or tea.   No more leftover fruit hanging around the crisper, just chop and throw in, reusable straw, the straw attachment lid is easier to use than an original mason jar. Summer’s Coming. Time for drinks.  https://amzn.to/4eeRxoQ https://amzn.to/4eeRxoQ This post contains affiliate links.

This Terra Soda Streaming Machine has clean bottles and a CO2 cylinder with an expiration date.   CO2 cylinders are available for purchase at regular grocery stores meaning it will be good to go making sparkling soda on a regular basis. I sterilized everything first and the SodaStream seemed to be in good working order. So I filled one of the bottles with filtered water to Soda Stream then pumped the machine. Voila.
