Drink Recipes

Light Citrus Punch (also known as water punch)
2 quarts water
1 cup sugar
1 tsp lemon extract
1/2 tsp citric acid
Mix together until sugar is dissolved. Add a few drops of food color if a colored drink is desired.

Orange Frosty (similair to Orange Julius)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup milk
1/2 can orange juice
1/2 tsp vanilla
8 ice cubes
Combine in blender. Makes 4 servings.

Glenn's Brazillian Limeade
1 lime, washed, ends cut off, and sliced into wedges
1/2 cup sugar
2 to 3 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk*
3 cups cold water
crushed ice
Add everything except ice into blender and blend together.  Strain into pitcher over the ice.
*If I don't have condensed milk, I have used coconut milk or regular milk and not noticed.

Summer Slushy
Mix 1 package of drink mix as directed, reducing the water to half of what is called for in the directions. Place 2 cups of the concentrated drink in a blender with ice cubes to bring the level to 4 cups. Blend thoroughly until no chunks of ice remain. Makes 2 to 4 servings.

Cinnamon Citrus Drink Mix

1 C Tang

1 C Sugar

1 pkg unsweetened lemonade Koolaid

1 pkg unsweetened peach mango Koolaid

2 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg
Mix together and store in a jar. To use stir a couple of tablespoons mix into a cup of hot water and stir. Drink hot. I use this to replace the fruit drink mix that I can no longer buy in a large can. I add extra cinnamon and honey when I have a sore throat.
