Jalapeno Lemonade

"A southwestern flare for a summertime drink favorite! For mild flavor, leave the jalapeno in for 4-8 hours. For a spicier beverage, leave the pepper in longer. I leave mine in for 12 hours and it has a good bit of zing. Beautiful presentation too!"

  1. Definitely unusual! Certainly intriguing! AND, wonderfully tasty, even if I only left the jalapeno in a couple of hours! Had it when a Mexican couple came by, & they LOVED it! Will be making this again! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick-A-Chef]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I've been on a huge baking kick lately, which is great for my college-aged brother and my friends. And BAD for my sweet tooth. Besides baking, I have been learning a lot about wine pairings and recipes. My local sommelier, Mary, is GREAT: Knowledgeable and sweet. And her wine recommendations in the twenty-something price range are perfect. Someday I also hope to be able to cook like my Grandma. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
