Picnic and Lemonade
This afternoon Lana, Joe, and I enjoyed a picnic at the Laurel Creek Conservation Area, just north of the University of Waterloo’s north campus. Not only was it an excellent day for a picnic, we had some excellent snacks (strawberries and cream! homemade lemonade!), tossed around a frisbee, and waded in the reservoir.
If you’d like to reproduce Douglas’ top quality lemonade, here’s the recipe. It’s not entirely from scratch, but still tastes pretty darn good, as long as you don’t mind it a little tart.
Lemonade
Ingredients
- 1 can frozen lemonade, thawed
- 1/2 lime
- 1 lemon
- 6-10 berries (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)
Directions
- Prepare canned lemonade according to directions on can.
- Squeeze in lime and lemon, being careful to avoid getting seeds in the container. Grate lime and lemon peel and add to the lemonade.
- Squish berries with a spoon in a small bowl, then press through a sieve to remove seeds and add to the lemonade.
- Shake/stir and enjoy!
