Citrus juice

On weekends, in front of the Raleigh Flea Market Mall on 1924 Capital Blvd in Raleigh, NC, there are two fruit and vegetable stands run by Hispanics. Not only can you find fresh and local fruits and vegetables, but also Mexican produce in abundance such as jicama, racimo, nopals, and catus fruits. It is also an excellent place to get key lemons (the "citrus lemon") , plump limes and juice oranges. These citrus fruits are usually 6 for $1 which means I usually come away with a tri-colored mix of 18 peices of fruit.

Aside from being asthetically pleasing arranged quaintly in a bowl, they are extremely good for you.

We often hear about oranges, but limes and lemons? Apparently, in addition to the proverbial Vitamin C, they have cleansing agents, digestive aids, and will solve all of life's problems...

At any rate, they tasted good simply like this;

Ingredients:
1 medium juice orange

1 key lemon

1 lime
2 spoonfulls of sugar or Splenda

crushed ice

water

Directions:

Slice fruit in halves.

Use a juicer like this one (if you don't have an electric one). The seeds and pulp stay on top, the
juice doesn't spill and you can easily pour it into you glass.

The lime I used yeilded as much or more juice as/than the orange.

Add some crushed ice, sugar or Splenda, and cold water.

Enjoy!!
