BLENDER LEMONADE ANYONE?

BLENDER LEMONADE – great sipper for those hot days of writing

I saw this recipe on the Pure Wow blog and thought, it looks deliciously cool and refreshing, let’s try it.

So here is my attempt to recreate and . . .  I Love it -Love it -Love it.  Thanks, Pure Wow!

Here’s their step-by-step at how it’s done.

THE INGREDIENTS 

Like we said, you need only one lemon. Then take 2 cups of water, a handful of ice cubes and a few tablespoons of sugar for sweetness.  I used my vanilla sugar (cane sugar with a few sticks of vanilla beans inside)

THE INSTRUCTIONS

Wash and scrub the lemon thoroughly. (Remember, it’s going in the blender, peel and all, so you’ll want to be sure it’s squeaky clean.) Next, use a paring knife to cut it into quarters and remove the seeds and the pith (that thick white stuff in the middle). When you’re done, toss the lemon quarters in the blender along with the water, ice cubes, and sugar. Now the fun part: Blend.

IMPORTANT DETAIL

Make sure you blend for a full minute ’til it’s ultra-smooth. Anything less and you’ll taste the pulp.  Next time I’ll blend mine more – I had some strong pulp taste going on.

LAST STEP

Pour your freshly blended concoction in a glass and, if you’re feeling fancy, garnish with a sprig of mint. Enjoy!
