Flavored Lemonade Inspiration

Flavored Lemonade Inspiration
Elsie and I are starting to plan some spring/summer back-yard parties for this coming season. It's going to be my first summer in my house (just became a first time home-owner this past autumn). We plan to host a few little get togethers, I may build a small fire pit for s'mores. Grapefruit Lemonade- to a large pitcher of lemonade add in 2 cups of grapefruit juice and fresh slices of grapefruit. Strawberry and Basil Lemonade- to a large pitcher of lemonade add 2-3 cups of chopped strawberries and a handful of chopped basil. Cucumber Mint Limeade-to a large pitcher of limeade (or lemonade) add one cucumber, thinly sliced, and a handful of chopped mint leaves. Blackberry Lemonade- to a small pitcher of lemonade add 1 cup of slighlty mashed blackbarries. Happy Monday!

Arnold Palmer Mix Up Arnold Palmers are my favorite summer drink! These sweet treats are half ice tea and half lemonade. They are named after a famous golfer. Some people also call these half and halfs. I've been playing around with different fruit tea varieties at my studio and I thought they would be fun to share. I love that they are sweet, but much less sweet than lemonade. First I make sun tea. I add fresh fruit to my Arnold Palmers. Here are a few of my favorite combinations. Peach tea + Lemonade + Fresh grapefruit is my favorite combination. I love raspberry anything, so this combination is another favorite. I hope some of you get to try this recipe for the first time this summer! PS.

Raw Family - Victoria, Sergei and Valya Boutenko - Raw Food Diet Cinq raisons d’arrêter le pain blanc Le pain, « fruit de la terre et du travail des hommes », est l’aliment de base de notre civilisation. Mais le moment est venu d’arrêter de manger du pain blanc. Voici pourquoi : Trop hybridé Le blé ne peut plus être considéré comme un aliment sain pour qui que ce soit. Ceci est très regrettable parce que le blé était un aliment correct, et qu’il est aujourd’hui utilisé dans d’innombrables farines et aliments, notamment comme épaississant. Trop pauvre en fibres, vitamines et minéraux Dans le pain blanc, la meilleure partie de la farine a été enlevée pour être donnée aux cochons et autres animaux d’élevage. Ne reste qu’un produit quasiment sans fibres, presque sans vitamines ni minéraux, qui n’est au fond que de l’amidon. Ne vous laissez pas impressionner par les étiquettes indiquant que les céréales ont été « enrichies » en vitamines. Trop salé Le pain blanc moderne est trop salé. Trop sucré Trop de gluten A quand une révolte ? Conclusion A votre santé ! Jean-Marc Dupuis

2 Super Simple Sangria Recipes If you've never had Sangria before you are in for a treat. I adore wine but it can be so fun to add seasonal fruits (plus a sweetener). I love how Sangria can be super informal, like fruit punch. This beverage conjures up images of laid back beach days or casual back yard cook outs. Plum and Grape Red Sangria, makes one large pitcher. Needed: 2 bottles of red wine (any kind you prefer), 4 cups juice (I used pomegranate, but you could also use grape or blueberry), 4 sliced plums, 3-4 handfuls sliced grapes and a few cubes of watermelon. Combine all ingredients in a pitcher. White Raspberry and Citrus Sangria, makes one large pitcher. Needed: 2 bottles of white wine (any kind you prefer), 3 cups orange juice, 2 sliced oranges, 2-3 handfuls of white raspberries. You can add any kinds of fresh fruits you have one hand, so feel free to experiment.

Bubble Tea Recipe: How to make Boba at home! For years we tried to make bubble tea at home with no luck. Since opening our own bubble tea business in Red Velvet we learned that most boba drinks made at restaurants or cafes use commercial grade syrups (or powders) to get that wonderful sweet, fruity flavor. But this leaves you in a pickle if you are wanting to make a delicious boba drink at home for yourself or your family, as most commercial grade syrups or powders are sold in large quantities and can be a really expensive option for someone just looking to make boba drinks for a casual get together. Emma developed this super tasty at-home recipe that you don't need any special supplies for (except boba pearls, of course!). Here's a recipe for a Strawberry Boba Slushie that anyone could easily make at home with ingredients that can be found at the grocery store. To make the boba pearls use this method.
