I love a tall cold glass of lemonade in
the summer. Fresh lemonade, that is. Call me a food snob if you will,
but powdered mixes or chemical laden swill need not apply for this
job. The cheapest and easiest way to have fresh lemonade of course
is to make it yourself. All you have to do is juice some lemons, add
some sugar into hot water to make a syrup, and mix together with ice
cubes and extra water as needed. Don't wimp out on squeezing the
lemons and try to substitute that bottled concentrate available in
the produce section of the grocery store. My taste buds detect a
Windex-like quality in that stuff, probably due to the preservatives
added. Some people can't taste this or aren't bothered by it, but I
still proclaim it unacceptable.
Even though fresh lemonade is easy to make, sometimes I just don't feel like doing it. So as a backup plan, I've done some reconnaissance missions to find out where in Middletown a good fresh lemonade can be found. Here's what I know, which I am happy to share with you, dear readers of the Eye.
