We have a friend in California who very generously sends us a box of Meyer lemons at the end of every year. I’ve made marmalade with them, squeezed them for lemon juice cubes, cooked with them. I had plans to make lemon curd with the latest box. Then events cascaded between me and kitchen creativity.
Sunday it was hot, hotter than usual for Sequim (86F, 30C). I staggered in from the garden looking for ice water only to find that DH had other ideas. Lemonade. DH made it. The pile of peels you see here became about four cups of lemonade, gone almost as fast as you can say, “Gee, it’s hot out there.”
Click the link above if you’re unfamiliar with Meyer lemons. They’re a real treat.
Now I have the taste of lemons in my mouth. I feel like I should pucker up.
I have a sneaking feeling that the quality of your lemonade ain’t so much about the Meyer lemons as it is the love and care you put into making the drink. Also, is it possible that you add a certain alcoholic taste to it, like vodka or gin? That might account for the fact that you’re giving the lemons the credit instead of giving credit where credit is due – you! :))
Credit is due DH! He’s the one who put in the love and care. Alcohol not necessary.
Never heard of Meyer lemons. I’m not a fan of lemonade, it gives me heartburn. I do however love lemon curd and lemon poppy seed muffins that Shari makes every now and then. Now I want some. 🙂
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve had lemonade.
