We don’t drink soda, outside of root beer floats once or twice a year. But I do love having some homemade berry lemonade concentrates ready in the freezer for BBQ’s in the summer. I love this Blueberry Thyme Lemonade. Don’t get me started on this Blackberry Basil Lemonade. Or if lime is your jam there’s Cherry limeade or Raspberry limeade. Of course you can swap lemon or lime with each other on any of these to suit yourself.
