So while half the world is covered in a thick blanket of snow way down here in New Zealand we are sweating in places I’m sure many of us didn’t know we could! Auckland has had the most insane humidity, the kind that leaves your hair looking like a fluffed up poodle. Here is one of my favourite, and easiest homemade lemonade recipes to help cool off…
Lemonade
1 cup Sugar (I try to use less sugar than this but it’s just a personal taste thing)
1/4 boiling water
5-6 lemons
A whole lot of ice
Dissolve the sugar with the boiling water
Squeeze lemons into jug
Add sugar water
Add a generous handful of ice cubes
Top up with water
Use your judgement. You could also add some fresh mint, sliced lemons or sliced orange.
Lucky for us our hair is all we really have to worry about but my heart really goes out to the folk in Melbourne who it seems are loosing the battle to keep raging bush fires at bay. Countless lives have been lost in the most unimaginable way and I hope to god they find those who are responsible for lighting them. If nothing else it makes you realise how precious life is and how quickly it can be taken away.
Anyway I’ve just finished moving house, it’s hot, i’m tired so I’ll leave it at that for tonight. Will try to start adding photos asap.
