Bloody Orangeade

February's selection from Melissa's Exotic Fruit club, blood oranges, arrived a few weeks ago and ... I keep forgetting to eat them! Blood oranges are one of my favorite citrus fruits and I normally nom them up like a scurvy-wracked sailor so I don't know what my problem is. All I know is that I have half a dozen blood oranges that need to be eaten up right now this minute or they're going to go off. What to do? Make orangeade!

Halved citrus

Halve 5 blood oranges and 1 lemon.

juiced citrus

Juice. (I strained the juice through a mesh strainer to remove the pulp).

Making orangeade

Combine with 5 cups cold water and ¾ cup Splenda.

This makes a very refreshing light beverage. Use less water for a stronger flavor.

While I welcome comments (they make me *squee* like a fangirl), please don't leave comments just for the sake of promoting your own blog, product, or contest.

When you leave blatantly promotional comments, you crush my hope of building a personal connection with you and that makes me so sad, I have to spend the rest of the day looking at lolcats and eating cheese.
