The more I make from scratch, the more I make from scratch… Bear’s dog biscuits, a fresh batch of ginger syrup and oh, boy! – I am enjoying the citrus this season!

While I typically throw an orange or lemon into the Vita-mix with other stuff for a smoothie, with this year’s variety of wonderful citrus…I let it stand alone in a mixed citrus soda. My current favorite blend is meyer lemon, wild lime, clementine and blood orange sweetened with a bit of rosemary infused simple syrup and topped with my own well water, carbonated by me.

Delicious and pretty and fresh :) !
