Summer refreshed


Having a hard time keeping cool this summer? I've got a drink to cure your heat induced puffy sausage fingers syndrome. Get some first- Ade from Lemons (puns make me feel like a nerd). Make some lemonade, duh everyone's doin' it. This one's a keeper, not too sweet, made with the most awesome nectar agave. The best part about this swweettner is its low-glycemic index, it doesn't cause large spikes in blood glucose (sugar) levels. Its even keel for your pancreas and your sweat glands. Make some and give it to overly dramatic fainting ladies, little kids who say no to sugar rushes and your on-the-verge of diabetes friends.



AID Me with Lemons
adapted from GOOP.com
  • 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (I like 3/4 c. but I'm a tartlette. )
  • 1/2 cup light agave syrup
  • 1 quart of water
  • Fresh mint
  • 1/2 cup vodka (if you happen to be celebrating getting a new job)

Mix everything together, adding a bit more of any ingredient, if necessary

And feel as refreshed as hiking in the Virgin River
