Are you using real lemons or the bottled stuff?

I don't have any recipes, I just use Crystal Light.

  good evening   I use the wal mart brand  but it just isnt the same   I guess again with the age I am spoiled w/ the real stuff  
  when do you expect the s.f. syrup?  I just bid on 3 bottles    on ebay  peanut butter   root beer and another  I  forgot already   but I placed a bid of 3.00  the shipping would be same as 11   but theres 6 days left on the bids so  I seriously doubt if I have a ghost of a chance....    what flavor do you have  ordered?  I  was going to ask if you would sell me a small  portion of it  so i can try it...  if  by chance I do get this  I will  give you some so you can try the differant flavors...   
  hey  do you wear business clothes for work?   or scrubs?  I have 3 maybe 4 outfits that would be good for business wear  and would take them to the next WLS group meeting if you would want them  I can take pics and send them to you  if  you wish....   
   ok I am gone   and will leave you alone this evening   oh i was down 3/4 lb from last week   so  thats anoher 12 ounces  gone

I HOPE THIS HELPS.  IT IS WITH REAL LEMONS OR WITH LEMON JUICE AND OF COURSE YOU USE SPLENDA IN PLACE OF REAL SUGAR.  YOUR CHOICE.
JOY

Method 1

  1. Cut up lemons, and squeeze until juice is gone.Use about three or four for a nice sweet lemonade.
  2. Make sugar-water by boiling water with an equal amount of sugar. Don't allow it to cool before adding the lemons!
  3. Figure that for every four cups of water the juice from two whole lemon should be added. It should be nice and sweet,with no tartness from the lemon.
  4. Omit the sugar water, and just use plain water, if you want to make unsweetened lemonade.
  5. Add ice cubes, pour into a glass, and enjoy!

Method 2

  1. Gather 5 lemons,three cups sugar,and 1 3/4 quarts water and ice.
  2. Squeeze the juice from the lemons; reserve the peels.
  3. Remove the seeds and pour the juice into a 2 quart pitcher.
  4. Add the sugar and water. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
  5. Slice the peels from all 5 lemons and put them into the pitcher. Serve with ice.
  6. Add a pinch of cinnamon for a nice, sweet lemonade.


Tips

  • Some measurements:
    • 1 cup of lemonade = 1/8 cup sugar water and 1/4 of a lemon.
    • 2 cups of lemonade = 1/4 cup sugar water and 1/2 of a lemon.
    • 2 quarts of lemonade = 1 cup sugar water and 2 lemons.
    • 1 gallon of lemonade = 2 cups sugar water and 4 lemons.
  •  
  • For less of a mess, you can buy lemon juice from most stores. It is usually in a plastic container. Two tablespoons equals the juice of one average lemon.
  • If you have an ice tray, make some extra lemonade and freeze it as ice cubes. Put them in the lemonade when you drink it. When they melt, they won't leave the lemonade tasting extra watery.
  • Some people recommend using brown sugar or honey instead of normal sugar.
  • Another way to do it is add equal amounts of sugar and water to make a slightly sweeter flavour.

Caution!

  • Make more sugar water than you'll need, as some of it will evaporate and you may not have enough.
  • If it tastes too sweet, add more water. If it tastes too sour, add more sugar-water. If it tastes too watery, add more lemon. Don't over do it!
  • Lemon juice will burn if squirted into the eye. Avoid unnecessary squeezing and thoroughly rinse eye if stinging occurs.
  • Be careful, the water might be hot! So ask a adult to pour the sugar water.
  • Don't use powdered lemonade unless necessary -- this is low-quality, and won't taste as good.

Good evening    I found some thing very interesting...  at  Foodland I found some    "Flavour Creations" [name brand} coffee flavoring   in Almond Amaretto  no sugar, fat, or calories and no protein   it was 2.99 enough for 48 cups of coffee   I figure maybe  24   10 oz. of protein drink...  and at Foodland   Splenda had a carmel flavor  it was 3.99 and it has 30 stick  like the ind....ual sticks of crystal lght0  of everything...  the first is tablet things  I havent tried either   I will bring you a sample of each at the Aug WLS meeting..   I am thinking also   at Cabell Huntington hosp they have a coffee shop  with large bottles  of stuff  I am thinking that is this kind of things  I am going to go there and ask if I can buy some of the flavors  I will take some little containers just in case..  that way I can try the flavors and not be so expensive . 
     If you want me to I will bring you some lemon ade in Aug as well..
  how was this weeks work?    chat later  whats up for the week end? I am fighting a tooth ache....got any special cures for tooth aches?  I am going to post a new thingy on the board and  see if I can find something  my dentist appt is Aug 4th  and that will be a long 2 weeks

   chat later  have fun  willa
