Time for Summer Lemonade

Summer's cranking up here in the U.S., so I thought this would
be a good time to share four of our favorite healthy lemonade
recipes.

Break out the ice and the lemons.

Let's start with...

Pam's Healthy Lemonade

4 apples (red or golden delicious are best)
1/4 lemon

Wash and quarter apples, then put through your juicer. Add
1/4 lemon with the peeling. You get one 8 oz. glass of
juice that tastes very much like lemonade without the
sugar.

Additionally, Jayme, another newsletter reader, elaborates:
"When making lemonade, instead of sugar, use apples, 4
apples to 1/4 lemon, peel and all, but the more you make,
add a higher ratio of lemon so there is more lemon flavor
and tartness."

Carmie's Citrusade

Put in a 2 quart pitcher:

1 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 cups orange juice (for sweetness and flavor)
1/2 cup honey or 100% pure maple syrup, or to taste
Enough distilled water to finish filling the pitcher

More or less orange juice can be used. Then adjust the
honey for the desired sweetness. Using freshly squeezed
juices and raw honey provides lots of live enzymes.

Leanee's Ginger Lemonade

Fresh ginger
Juice of 3 lemons
1/2 cup maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
2 quarts water

Place water on the stove to boil. Peel a good 2-3 inch
slice of ginger (depending on how you like ginger). Grate
the ginger over a fine mesh grater. Squeeze the freshly
grated pulp to remove the juice. Discard dry pulp. When
water boils, add the lemon and ginger juice. Let steep for
20 minutes, then add the syrup. This is very refreshing.

Flaxseed Lemonade

Pour a half a gallon (about 2 liters) of boiling water over
8 tablespoons of whole flaxseed and steep for three hours.
Strain the mixture and add enough raw honey to sweeten.
When serving chilled, add a generous slice of lemon.

American folk medicine used this drink when people were
suffering from colds, but it's refreshing at any time.

In closing, don't let summer go by without making
delicious and healthy lemonade on a regular basis.
