Grapefruit
is so named as it grows in clusters like grapes. Pink grapefruit
has the best flavor for drinks. Look for the pink grapefruit
juice found in the cooler section of your grocery store or use
fresh squeezed and strained juice. If you enjoy sitting outside
and want to keep your drinks ice cold, purchase a few "gel
mugs" which you can keep in the freezer. Gel mugs are one
of my favorite discoveries. You can also use them during the
summer to keep everything you love cold. I still use ice cubes
as it makes the drink even colder and icy crystals form, making
drinking even just a glass of water a treat.
4 cups pink grapefruit juice
¼ cup
orange blossom honey
⅛
teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Pour
the grapefruit juice into a tall jug. Heat the honey in
the microwave
and stir it into the juice.
2. Set up an ice
cream maker. Pour in the juice and freeze for 10
minutes
or until slushy. Serve in tall glasses with straws.
Variations:
An ice cream maker can be used to cool down all
your
favorite fruit juices in the summer. Look for various
mixed
fruit drinks. There are many that are completely
natural
Ceres® fruit juices are especially good when they are
frozen
just to the stage of being slushy. If you are sitting out
in
the sun, making frozen drinks will keep you cooled down.
