Orangeade
Things that friends tend to drop off on my porch, aside from lovely cakes and donuts – citrus, and lots of it. While I always welcome a few lemons and oranges sometimes a bag of 20+ is too much. I just can’t let those beauties go to waste.
So when I received a giant bag of oranges I was stumped. Lemons I can do, hello – Lemon Week! The Kid in all his infinite wisdom declared that we were going to be making Orangeade. He helped with juicing the oranges and then came back when it was done. Ah, the life of a mini sous chef. This recipe came out so fantastic I think we have a new household favorite on our hands.
