    One of the things I like is a very cold glass of water with a good dribble of lime juice in it... It hasn't got that horrible syrupy fizzy drink taste and you can gulp loads of it.
    Good, clean fun.... :D

    Thanks for all your suggestions everyone, I'm looking forward to trying these.

    But after I posted yesterday about summer being here, today its freezing and pouring with rain, so at that rate I might not need cold refreshing drinks after all - where I live, the summer tends to last for about three days, it looks like its over now !! This evening it looks like a hot cup of tea might be in order instead...

    thanks everyone

    There was a really easy lemonade recipe on the board last summer; I've just done a quick search for it but no joy. I remember the recipe, I just don't remember who posted it, so whoever it was, sorry for not acknowledging you.
    Anyway:
    Put a whole lemon (Skin, pips the lot) into a blender along with caster sugar to taste (I use about 2 tablespoons) & cold water. Whizz, strain, keep in fridge. Easy peasy!
