• Puree
fruits and freeze them into ice cubes. Use the ice cubes in lemonade
or other drinks. Peaches, raspberries, and cherries work well. Strain
the fruit puree before freezing to make it smooth. (ah-ha, one more
use for that free
stainless strainer.)
• If you
don’t want to go to the work of pureeing and straining fruit,
use a fruit pancake syrup. We made ice cubes from blueberry
syrup and used them in lemonade, as shown in the picture above.
Dilute the syrup with two parts water for one part syrup before freezing
the ice cubes. Other
syrup choices include boysenberry, cherry, raspberry, peach, and
strawberry.
• Add pancake
syrup to your lemonade to make cherry lemonade, strawberry lemonade,
and so forth.
• Add fruit
juices or fruit syrup to soda water.
• Add fruit
