Lemon Belly Strain is a fun party favor for little ones. It is a small plastic container with two measuring spoons, a coin and a lemon peel. You fill the small plastic container with a few drops of lemon juice.
Next you will use a small decorative spoon to drop the coin into the lemon squeeze bottle. When your child’s fingers get wet this makes the juice easier to mix into the bottle. Let the bottle sit for at least a half hour, or longer if you are making multiple bottles. The longer you let it sit, the thicker and more potent the bubble gum will be. Be sure that there is enough room in the bottle for all of the coins.
Once your child has taken their first sip of the lemon juice, try tipping the bottle upside down. This makes it easier for the lemon juice to seep into the bottle. If the bottle is not tilted correctly, it can seep too much into the bottle and make a mess. Take your time and be careful.
It may take some practice to learn how to pour the lemonade into the little jars. However, after some practice, you will become an expert at the lemon juice pouring process. You may want to place a piece of paper on top of the jar to keep track of how much lemonade is left in the bottle. You can write on this paper how much lemonade is left, or you can draw a symbol or color on the paper to easily identify the lemonade amount. This will make it much easier when serving the children.
You do not have to drink it right out of the bottle. Wait a few minutes for the lemon juice to mellow out and taste more like the real thing. Then serve it chilled and enjoy with lots of sugar and a slice of fresh fruit. This will help make it even tastier. You can also make popsicles in the fun little bottles and make fruit kabobs in the little bottles to enjoy along with this delicious drink.
You can also make your own lemonade using lemon extract and honey. All you need is about 2 cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice and two teaspoons of honey. You can use a strainer to strain the mixture, if you wish. The resulting beverage will taste just as good as any store bought lemonade, and you can use all or most of what you make.
You can also use the lemon strain in all kinds of cooking. Lemon juice added to soups can add that extra zing to a dish. You can also strain the juice from lemons and add this to vegetable dishes to add that extra flavor. You can strain it in salads or other vegetables and fruits. You will get that tangy taste that people love so much by trying this method.
You will not believe how versatile this juice is. You can use it in many different ways and it will enhance any recipe that you use it in. Try experimenting with different recipes and you will be surprised at how good some of the recipes will taste with the use of the lemon extract.
Lemon juice is also wonderful when it is added to hot tea. Just pour a little over your tea and let it steep for about a minute and then serve up. Many people love this simple drink. Even those who are normally not large tea drinkers will try this once they have tried the extract.
One thing you should try to do with the lemon extract is to make a drink called mimosas. This is similar to a coffee drink, but you add lemon zest and ice to the already prepared base. You add this to hot milk and serve this cold. This is a very nice drink that can be enjoyed any time of day. It is especially nice in the summer months when you want something refreshing to drink while working outside. If you have some hot water in the refrigerator, this is a great way to cool down after a long day at work.
If you are using lemon extract for the lemonade drink, then you might be able to make a different kind of lemonade by simply adding lemon juice to frozen yogurt. Just blend the yogurt and milk together, add some lemon extract and enjoy a refreshing drink that is made from fruit, not sugar. This is a fun treat that children love and grown ups enjoy.
