Citrus Splendor

Okay, so people are going to think that my diet mainly consists of liquids. Which wouldn't be a complete understatement. Since I live in Iowa, or as I like to call it the scorching hot oasis that even the locals are wary about staying here for the summer, its very important to keep hydrated by whatever means necessary!

Since I moved to Saint Charles, I have learned a lot about the locals and learned even more about some tasty treats they make. One of them being this tasty, citrus drink. Its really simple to make and adds a kick to your regular lemonade taste! After all, who doesn't like a nice cup of lemonade on a hot summer day?

Recipe: Make a regular pitcher of Country Time lemonade and then slice up one large, naval orange. Next put the slices of the orange in the pitcher of lemonade and chill in the fridge. Remove oranges after a couple of hours and garnish the glasses with the slice if so desired. Enjoy this tasty summer drink!

I think this recipe would be cute if you are having a little BBQ get together. Get some small mason jars and put a small slice of orange in each little container after pouring in lemonade. Mess free and really cute! Fits in with the rustic-chique theme that's really trending this summer! 

Also, its really important to remove the oranges from the lemonade, otherwise it becomes really orange tasting and it over powers to lemonade taste altogether. So by removing them after a few hours it gives a perfect orange-lemon balance taste wise.

Stay Beautiful!
