Lemon Water
- 1/2-cup bottled lemon juice
- Enough water to make 1 gallon
Measure the lemon juice into a gallon-sized pitcher. Add enough water
to fill the pitcher. Mix briefly and chill. Serve icy cold.
This is my family's favorite beverage. We make it every day, twice a
day in the summer. We serve it at family meals and everyone is
encouraged to drink it throughout the day. It's refreshing, a good
source of vitamin C and there are no empty calories like those in
fruit punch. To keep up with our consumption, it takes about
1-quart of lemon juice a week. Store-brand quart bottles of lemon
juice in my area cost less than $2, making a gallon of lemon water
cost about 25¢. Makes 1-gallon or 8-servings; 2-cups each.
