Zing!

I told you earlier that we have an overabundance of citrus in our house. The supply is getting smaller, but it's nice to have so much around during what has become a cloudy, grey week. This citrus juice is a by product of making citrus salt (more on that later, it's super easy). I like it mixed with some sweetened sparkling water or in a small glass with a little "lemongrass water" which is just water that's
had grated lemongrass wrapped in cheesecloth steeping in it.

It's not even really a recipe, I just juiced 5 clementines, 5 Persian limes and 3 Meyer lemons. That made about 1 1/2 cups of juice, so I stored it in a jar in the fridge and mixed it half and half with sparkling water sweetened with a 1/2 teaspoon of orange blossom honey. You could use whatever sweetener you like. These ratios make for a pretty strong drink with a lot of "zing", but you could play around with whatever mix appeals to you. It's a pretty perfect mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
