Here's a beverage that'll really hit the spot. Filled with tangy goodness, it'll quench your thirst any time of year. I like to use tree-ripened lemons and oranges that are so abundant here in Florida.—Martha Schwartz, Sarasota, Florida
Ingredients:
• 4-1/4 cups water, divided
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
• 3/4 cup orange juice (about 3 oranges)
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
• 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
• Ice cubes
• Lemon slices, optional
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring 1-1/4 cups water and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer for 10 minutes; cool.
2. Transfer to a pitcher; add lemon and orange juices and peels. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Stir in the remaining water. Serve over ice. Garnish with lemon if desired.
