LONG cool drinks always hit the spot in hot weather. The ones shown in the picture are all old-fashioned lemonade. Try this little trick for making them colorful. Pour any left-over juice from the maraschino cherries into a freezing tray of the refrigerator. Freeze it until it is solid ice. Do the same with grape juice — the result will be a deep red-purple ice cube. Freeze leftover lemonade or limeade for yellow and green cubes. Delicious chunks of orange ice can be made by freezing fresh orange juice. Try it with grapefruit, raspberry, strawberry or apple juice. These fruit flavor combinations will make your lemonade look and taste "out of this world."
Here are favorite summer coolers from my recipe file. They will do double duty for any party or outdoor refreshment this time of year. And I've suggested some new ways to serve our old favorite ice cream. Included are a couple of recipes for homemade ice cream, too. You can mix them in the morning, go to the beach all day, come home and find them ready to eat.
Old Fashioned Lemonade
6 lemons (about 1 cup juice) Vn cud sugar
V2 cup hot water 3V2 cups cold water
Squeeze juice from lemons; strain if desired. Combine sugar and hot water. Heat and stir until sugar is dissolvec1 Cool and add to lemon juice. Add the cold water. Add more sugar if you like it sweeter. Pour over cracked ice in a tall glass. Garnish with a few mint leaves if you have some growing in the yard. Nice for garnish also, is a slice of orange, lemon, fresh berries or a stick of fresh pineapple. Makes 6 tall glasses.
Iced Coffee
Prepare coffee making it twice as strong as usual. Pour the hot coffee over cracked ice in tall glasses or over a large piece of ice in a large pitcher. Serve it plain or with cream, or whipped cream and sugar, or serve it black. Left-over coffee may be frozen and used as ice cubes, if you like your iced coffee strong.
All on a summer's day: oldfashioned lemonade with a new idea in each glass, and extraluscious banana splits. With such cold comfort at hand, let the sun shine!
Iced Tea
Prepare strong tea, using 1% teaspoons of tea leaves for each cup of water. Boil the water and pour it over the tea leaves; allow to stand 5 minutes. Strain and discard the leaves. Pour the hot tea over cracked ice in tall glasses. Iced tea, cooled quickly, is clearer and more sparkling than tea which is cooled slowly. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon or orange. Left-over iced tea may be frozen into cubes and used in the iced tea instead of plain ice.
Fruit Fizzes
Combine an equal amount of fruit juice and gingerale or soda water. Add sugar if necessary. Add the soda or gingerale just before serving and pour over ice cubes.
Orange Milk Shake
2J/2 cups orange juice 1V2 cups grapefruit juice 1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon almond extract V4 cup sugar
Combine all ingredients and stir well. Chill; serve over cracked ice in six tall glasses. (Continued on page 76)
