Summer in a glass
Karen posted about some great looking ice-cream the other day and really got my summer food juices flowing. Here's my contribution - lemon balm lemonade.
Lemon balm grows like a weed in the garden here. At least this way I use the handfuls of it I pull up to keep it under control. I put the leaves in boiling water to infuse for about 2 mins, make a sugar syrup (boil sugar with a little water to dissolve it) and juice some lemons. Mix together and chill. Mmmm.
Best of all I can feel virtuous drinking it knowing it's full of vitamin C with no nasty additives. Don't you love it when healthy is just so good.
Oh and by the way all you crocs fans - I wore mine in public today and got a compliment! So sucks to you windowcleaner and thank you bloggy friends - your sage advice was right again.
