make lemondae

One of my favorite quick fixes for the heat is this instant lemonade.  No, no powder mixes (please!), but I do use that plastic lemon-shaped bottle filled with lemon juice, you know the one I'm talking about.  I fill a glass high with ice, squirt almost an inch of lemon juice in it (I like it really sour!) and top off the rest with plain sparkling water.  Throw in a cherry or two for color and a sweet bite at the end, and I tell you, it is heaven in a glass, and it takes all of 30 seconds to make.  I probably drink 4 of these a day in the summer.  So if it's 100 degrees where you are, or 80 and humid, give it a try!
