I live in Beijing, China as an expat teacher, and it's nice to get a familiar taste - many Chinese believe lemonade is this thing called Sprite. *sigh* One change I made though is that I cut the sugar down as another user suggested to 1.5C and, to cut down on work and lemons, I quartered and peeled 4 medium lemons, tossed them in the blender with a cup of water; I wound up with two cups of "lemon juice" which were perfect when mixed with the rest of the ingredients. I also added lemon zest from two of the lemons to the syrup for extra lemon flavour. Absolutely incredible and refreshing!

The Best Thai Coconut Soup

Reviewed: May 18, 2011

Simply awesome. Easy to make, great flavours, and surprisingly refreshing for a hot/mildly spicy soup - even in the summer this is a great dish!

Peanut Butter Cookies IV

Reviewed: May 18, 2011

I gave this a shot, but found that the cookies were too sweet, and that was without the white sugar for decoration. I did add flour to the recipe as well - some people suggested anywhere from 1/4c to 1/2c - I went with 1/4. It made the mix somewhat easier to work with. I think this recipe could work with more modification, IMO.
