IN THE KITCHEN<br />
Summer Sipping<br />
One of my favourite summertime pleasures is<br />
sitting outside, enjoying a cool drink. Here are<br />
two of my favourites, depending on who is<br />
joining me and what time of day it is. <strong>The</strong><br />
strawberry lemonade is perfect throughout the<br />
afternoon. Family and friends of all ages will<br />
enjoy this unusual take on the summer classic.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sangria is a great choice for happy hour,<br />
served with nibbles on the deck.<br />
Strawberry Lemonade<br />
A simple recipe with a simple equation.<br />
Strawberries + Lemonade = Summer. Local,<br />
ever-bearing strawberries are available and are<br />
super sweet.<br />
1 cup ripe strawberries<br />
1 cup fresh lemon juice<br />
2/3 cup fruit sugar (instant dissolving)<br />
2 cups cold water<br />
1/3 cup whipping cream<br />
Ice cubes<br />
In a food processor, puree the strawberries until<br />
smooth. Pour into a large pitcher. Strain the<br />
lemon juice and add to the pitcher. Add the<br />
sugar and whisk until it is dissolved. Add the 2<br />
cups water and the cream and stir to combine.<br />
Fill glasses with ice. Pour the lemonade over<br />
the ice. Garnish with extra strawberries, cut in<br />
half and wedged on to the rim of each glass.<br />
Serve immediately. Store any extra lemonade<br />
in the refrigerator. Serves 4.<br />
Summer Sangria<br />
Nectarines are a great stand in for peaches and<br />
there is no need to peel them beforehand.<br />
1 cup ripe peaches, peeled and sliced<br />
½ cup fresh raspberries<br />
2 Tbsp fresh mint leaves, packed<br />
¼ cup berry sugar (instant dissolving)<br />
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice<br />
750 mL bottle Ontario dry white wine, chilled<br />
1 cup peach schnapps<br />
1 cup sparkling water or club soda<br />
Ice cubes<br />
Place the peaches, raspberries, mint, sugar,<br />
lemon juice, and wine in a blender and puree<br />
until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine<br />
sieve into a large glass pitcher. Before serving,<br />
stir in the sparkling water or club soda and<br />
garnish with additional raspberries. Serve very<br />
cold, over ice. Serves 4.<br />
