Took a break and had a long sip

Its been awhile since I was here. I was busy for a month. Actually, I'm still busy and decided to take a break and roam around the the different shops in the annual provincial festival. It was a very hot day and the lemonade stand was perfect for me. I need a good jolt of vitamin C. What attracted me like a bee in this shop was the fresh pressed lemons and fresh crushed strawberries. Lemons boosts immune system. It has a natural cleansing properties and detoxifies our body of impurities. Lemon is good for our eyesight, hair and skin too. Strawberries are also good source of vitamin C like lemon. Sipping this cold concoction is what I need to de-stressed myself.They looked and taste good together. I felt energized and refreshed after drinking it that I ordered one more to go.

This sounds a great drink and a lot better than Coca Cola

Healthier than Coca Cola. And I'm no worried that I'l get diabetic if I drink more than one cup.

that is great especially when you see how the juice is done-squeezing out the juice from the fruit is awesome.

Yes. I like that they squeezed it out from the lemon and that they didn't use any powdered juices. The strawberry was fresh too. They also told me that the syrup they used were from sugar cane.

Fresh squeezed lemonade drinks are quite popular here during the summer. However, I would rather make my own as I don't like all the added sugar.

That would be awesome. I told them to give me half the simple syrup. It was pretty sour.

This must have indeed be very refreshing. The best drink to have on hot summer days
16 Jun 17
It was. Too bad I can't have this drink now. No strawberries available. So instead of making a refreshing drink I just make my self fresh salad and have iced cold water.

@diosabella Are there no other flavors available? Salad and water are the best
17 Jun 17
@Nawsheen Well the festival's over. And the lemonade shop was not from my place but more likely from another town. So I make my own lemonade after it. But now strawberries are not available in the market. but mangoes are and I use them to make my salad.

It does look yummy. What's a provincial festival? Is it some sort festival to celebrate something?

The festival is about the good harvest every year. Every town has its own booth to promote its town/city products. There are competitions and shows for a whole week. I will probably take a break again tomorrow to go there because its the last day.

I love strawberry lemonade. :) And that store would too attract me since its fresh pressed and crushed fruits! I bet it was really good and refreshing!
