Beverage Cubes
" Everyone has a favorite drink that is always in the fridge...but don't you hate
it when your ice cubes melt and make your drink watery? Here's a simple solution!
Use your favorite non-carbonated beverage; fruit juice, coffee and prepared drink
mix all work great. "
Example:
2 cups brewed black tea, cold
Pour the cold tea into an ice cube tray and freeze. Pop out a few whenever you're
ready for a tall cool drink.
Makes 12 cubes
Orange Glorious
1 cup milk
1 cup ice water
1 (6 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
12 cubes ice cubes
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 cup white sugar
In a blender combine milk, water, orange juice concentrate, ice cubes, vanilla and sugar.
Blend until smooth. Pour into three 12 oz glasses and enjoy with a straw.
Orange Float Mix
4 cup instant nonfat dry milk
1 cup sugar
2 cup powdered orange drink mix

airtight container and lable as Orange Float Mix. Store in a cool, dry

Lemonade
2 quart water
3 lemons
1 orange
1 oz citric acid
2 lb sugar
Place water, citric acid and sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add rind of the lemons and orange and simmer for five minutes. Add the juice of the lemons and orange. Bring back to the boil, strain and bottle immediately in sterile bottles.
This produces a syrup that can be diluted with water (carbonated or not, hot or cold) to produce a very pleasant lemon drink. The use of the rind ensures that that the lemon taste is more balanced that juice only recipes. It is quite concentrated and goes quite a long way. It should keep indefinitely in sealed sterile bottles, but I have never managed to keep any more than a few weeks before drinking it.
