Lemon

How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways!

1)  Just smells great
2) Anti-fungel
3) Add to vinegar and water for a better smelling all natural cleaner.
4) Up-lifting, invigorating, refreshing
5) Lemons = Vitamin C.  A great way to get antioxidents
6) Makes any water taste so much better
7) Love in my dishwasher, makes the dishwasher smell better AND removes the ugly hard water spots!

My families lemonade.  No this certainly wouldn't constitute as paleo, BUT, from time to time, if we are going to have a juice, I would most certainly rather make it from the juice of real fruit, then from a powdered concoction brew of artificial colors and flavors! :)  YUM!  I promise that under the paleo section, I will provide all kinds of great, tantalizing, mouthwatering, beggin' for more paleo munchies!  Since I am new to blogging, it will take me some time to fill this blog with the delectable dishes that our family is enjoying each and every day!

1 Cup organic raw sugar  (you can use other sweeteners, honey, maple syrup etc if you like)
1 Cup water
6-12 lemons  6 if big and 12 if small.

Method:  Make simple syrup by boiling sugar and water
Meanwhile, juice your lemons.  Add lemon juice to pitcher with ice and 5-10 drops of lemon essential oil.  Once the simple sugar is complete, pour into pitcher.  Add water until you get the taste that you want, weaker, stronger, it's up to you!
Variations:  Put frozen fruit (strawberries) halved into lemonade
                   Grade ginger and stir small amount into lemonade for a refreshing, detoxing concoction that is also good for your health!
