Summer lemonades

[Guest guest]

Time for Summer LemonadeSummer's cranking up here in the U.S., so I thought this wouldbe a good time to share four of our favorite healthy lemonaderecipes.Break out the ice and the lemons.Let's start with...Pam's Healthy Lemonade4 apples (red or golden delicious are best)1/4 lemonWash and quarter apples, then put through your juicer. Add1/4 lemon with the peeling. You get one 8 oz. glass ofjuice that tastes very much like lemonade without thesugar.Additionally, Jayme, another newsletter reader, elaborates:"When making lemonade, instead of sugar, use apples, 4apples to 1/4 lemon, peel and all, but the more you make,add a higher ratio of lemon so there is more lemon flavorand tartness."---Carmie's CitrusadePut in a 2 quart pitcher:1 cup lemon

juice1 1/2 cups orange juice (for sweetness and flavor)1/2 cup honey or 100% pure maple syrup, or to tasteEnough distilled water to finish filling the pitcherMore or less orange juice can be used. Then adjust thehoney for the desired sweetness. Using freshly squeezedjuices and raw honey provides lots of live enzymes.---Leanee's Ginger LemonadeFresh gingerJuice of 3 lemons1/2 cup maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice)2 quarts water Place water on the stove to boil. Peel a good 2-3 inchslice of ginger (depending on how you like ginger). Gratethe ginger over a fine mesh grater. Squeeze the freshlygrated pulp to remove the juice. Discard dry pulp. Whenwater boils, add the lemon and ginger juice. Let steep for20 minutes, then add the syrup. This is very refreshing.---Flaxseed LemonadePour a half a gallon (about 2 liters) of boiling water over8 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 weresuffering 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.By the way, details about our Health & Beyond collection ofclassic lemonade recipes are available right now athttp://chetday.com/lemonade.htmThis collection belongs in your home if you love lemonadeas much as we do!
