Lemonade, Cookbook of the Day

by Nicole Weston, Posted Aug 14th 2006 @ 8:04AM

Lemonade may just be one of the most refreshing summertime drinks you can have, even taking into account the amount of sugar that is usually in it. When we learn to make it, it is a one-note drink with lemons, sugar, water and ice. Enjoyable, but simple. But the drink has become more and more artificial, to the point where restaurants now serve Crystal Light and flat-sodas masquerading as what was once a juice drink.

Lemonade will help to revive the tradition of the homemade drink. It guides you to turn this classic into something more complex than the version you learned as a child, adding fruits and herbs, including rhubarb, spearmint, ginger and mangoes. Vanilla Bean Lemonade delivers a smooth, subtle flavor and the Strawberry Rhubarb is a treat. The book includes 50 recipes, each of which will make you forget the watery mix at the soda fountain that calls itself lemonade.
