Uses for Flat Lemonade

beer2006

Its true about the flowers, a test was done with products bought especially for that purpose and lemonade came out best. I can't remember the amounts though.

Apparently its also very good for drinking when you have cystitis, learnt this in a medical microbiology lecture few weeks ago, havent tried it myself though!

Out of interest was this sugar free or diet version? Does it make a difference?

You would need sugar to help flowers and no sugar to help cystitis.

I use flat sugar free lemonade when I am stewing fruit. It doesn't stick like sugar water does, but still sweetens the fruit.

You could use it to stew fruit with instead of sugar and water. I do this with diet lemonade.:D

Lemonade perks up drooping flowers.

You can make ice lollies with it. Pour it into small plastic cups, put in the freezer, stick a lolly stick into each after it has started to solidify, and save for next time the kids come You can do layers too - half fill the cup with the lemonade, freeze, then add a second layer of fruit juice so it makes a stripy lolly.

Well, as usual we have leftover lemonade which in some cases is dead flat

I know you can put flat non diet lemonade into your flower water to 'feed' the flowers, but apart from that I have no idea what to do with it. Naturally I want to put it to good use if I can

Does anyone have any other uses for it please?

if you do a fruit pot for your pack lunch at work put a little bit of diet lemonade in and it stops the apple going all brown - don't drown the pot though x

my late ma-in-law swore by lemonade boiled up for the children when they had a 'tickly ' cough and it worked quite well,but then she was the 'old wife' that all the tales were written about .She brought her two boys up during the 1930s as a young widow with very little money for a Dr. so it was a case of kill or cure and most of her cures seemed to work fine
