I don’t think I’ve ever made “real” lemonade. As a kid we always made “Country Time” lemonade which was a powder mix that came in a can. I was so used to Kool Aid that I assumed lemonade was just another flavor of powdered mix.

I could never mix Kool-Aid right. I would never mix it enough and all the powder would float to the bottom, so the top was bitter and the bottom way too sweet 🙁
I learned (once daughters 1 and 2 wanted some) to mix the Kool-Aid in a little HOT water to dissolve it, then add the cold water, and put the ice in the cup, not the pitcher.
Having a lemon tree in the yard has made some difference. I keep remembering the fast that Dick Gregory did, one lemon’s juice, one cup of honey, one gallon of water; don’t forget the water!
Even with just room temp water, a slurry is an important first step. Since I was diagnosed Diabetic, not so much making the sugary drinks, but somehow, I became known for making excellent iced tea. I just appreciate sugar now that I can rarely use it.
But, in a related note, figure out how much sugar/creamer you need in your tea/coffee, and put that in your cup first, then pour the beverage. Since sugar does take up a bit of room initially, you don’t raise the level of coffee to the brim than if sugar is added last. If you ever juggled a up-to-the-edge cup of coffee, you see how that works out.
Oh no! Biff burnt one eyebrow off! How will he go on with life?!
I didn’t even know what powder mix lemonade was until recently, and I don’t even know if it exists in Sweden. But then again, I live in the middle of nowhere… But I had seen the Kool-Aid man way before I knew what Kool-Aid was. I just thought that he was a random cartoon character from somewhere…
In my hometown, there’s a hot dog joint that sells Devil Dogs, and Demonade sounds like the perfect drink to wash down those Devil Dogs!
I don’t let powdered drinks in my house anymore, unless they are some sort of powdered tea. Screw health questions, they are no as delicious as I thought they were when I was a kid!
I enjoy making real lemonade – juicing lemons on a little ceramic manual juicer and simmering the sugar water until it combines…but it takes a LONG time. More often I just mix the sugar water with the lemonjuice that comes from a bottle. Still good, and takes a fraction of the time.
If you get superfine sugar, it’ll dissolve better, and you might not even have to heat the water.
is that drink spicy hot or burn my mouth on fire hot?
Man, biff is one tough mofo to turn demons into juice…
“Shut your mouth!”
But I’s talkin’ about BIFF!
At least hes not using them to burn your house down….
No, when life gives you demons, you make life take the demons back! Get mad!
I DONT WANT YOUR DAMN DEMONS WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE!?
I’m sorry, I had to do that.
Frikkin hilarious, I laughed out loud.
Is that combustible demonade? Cave Johnson anyone?
