  1. OMG! This is so good that I drank my glass in no time flat! LOL I halved the recipe, as I only had 2 C of club soda on hand and used 3 berry mix, white sugar and bottled lemon juice (about 3 T). I pureed the mixture b4 straining so as to get as much fruit in the juice as possible. I ended up with 2 1/4 C of juice, 36 oz. total, without ice. I figured up the cost at 6 (12 oz) servings and came up to 50 cents each. Not bad, when a natural or "healthy" soda is usu. more and in this, you get the nutrition of the fruit. I will probably cut back on the sugar, or try Splenda, as 84 g of sugar is way more than I like my kids to have.
     
  2. thank you for posting this. i am surrounded by a husband and inlaws (who recently moved in) who eat nothing but fast food and drink soda all day. my toddler daughter who has always been an organic and healthy fed child was exposed to soda and i had to battle her to not have it. i made this for her and she loved it. she somteims chooses it for her dessert. i cut back on the sugar a bit and use all organic ingredients. it is very tasty and i am glad to have this to offer her instead of soda when she asks for it. thanks!@

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving. I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start. Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog! Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years! I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
