Heather's Raspberry Lemonade - Super Easy


SUPER EASY SUMMER DELIGHT!
1 can minute made raspberry lemonade frozen concentrate
6-10 fresh mint leaves
7 or so cut strawberries
1 can water... Put everything in a blender & blend.
Then line a large Ziploc bag with another so it's doubled up in case the bag breaks. Transfer the mixture from the blender and add two additional cans of water. Put in freezer. You can pull it out every couple of hours and squish it OR let it freeze solid. If solid pound it out into chunks. Spoon into cups and pour ginger ale over the top.
DELICIOUS
It's a summertime hit at our house.

Japanese Health Secret-Remedy for Fatigue


Steal a Japanese health secret............ Dried Bonito broth. Made from smoked, dried shavings of tuna. It is a flavorful broth that should be used as a base for soups and sauces and traditionally has been used as a remedy for colds and fatigue. Bonito broth is rich in disease fighting antioxidants. A small human study revealed it lowered blood pressure. Bring 2.5 cups of water to a boil and add 1/4 cup of flakes. Immediately remove from heat. Strain before adding vegetables or noodles or just drinking. The flavor has a smoky, hearty flavor similar to beef broth but is fat free and naturally low sodium. Can be found in Health food stores, Asian Markets and online. Another great idea from my sister Linda!
