make Arnold Palmers!
Winter in Southern California means fresh citrus.
Our lemon tree is going crazy,
and since our weather is pretty mild today,
we’re making Arnold Palmers,
one of my family's favorite drinks!
It's the perfect mix of lemonade and tea.
This recipe is so much more delicious
and economical than buying
the pre-bottled variety at the store.
Enjoy!
