Inspirational Drink
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009OK, here comes the Fourth of July, the heat, fireworks, independence, food and drink. We here offer “all things Inspirational” and inspiration comes in all sizes – large, small, heavy and light. This one’s light. So sit down, put your feet up, have the butler pour you a cool one, and take the load off.

Some things in life are so simple that, yes, they are inspired. I found one years ago that gets me through the summer. I like iced tea with lots of lemon to balance the sweet. Here’s a recipe for a no-cal drink that’s super easy to make without the no-cal taste and totally refreshing.
I use Crystal Light Natural Lemon Iced Tea and Crystal Light Natural Lemonade – you know, the kind that comes in those little 2” plastic canisters. If ya’ don’t have a butler, just rip the top off one of each yourself, pour them both into a 1 gallon jug and add water. Stir and serve with ice and a tall glass.
You don’t even have to cut up those messy lemons – the lemony flavor being just right from the lemonade. I’ve heard this called an Arnold Palmer, but to me it’s just a Half n’ Half – half iced tea and half lemonade. Now I didn’t say it was an original, but I do feel that I’ve refined the process down to its basic simplicity.
