With only 2 days of school left in the year, one last Cooking Class, a hot, humid day and nearly 70 rowdy children, I needed a great recipe. So, I consulted Molly Katzen's book "Pretend Soup and Other Real Recipes: A Cookbook for Preschoolers and Up" and found the perfect one. Homemade Lemon-Lime Soda Pop is a fun, refreshing drink that would be great for this very unique day!
Vanessa Havener, (Owen's mom, Green Room) volunteered to help (and to bring a few supplies!) We brought our ingredients, our various cooks tools and a rolling ice chest filled with ice into each classroom to make the drink together. Here is the prep for 6 classes.
We used 4 different citrus juicers to let the whole class juice the lemons and limes at the same time!
Vanessa brought in her soda stream so we could show the kids how to convert plain water into fizzy water!
We filled small plastic tumbler cups with ice.
...and celebrated a great year!
Quotes of the Day:
"We're like grown ups!"
"I like it!"
"This drink is yummy!"
"Miss Diana, we're good cookers. This morning, I cooked a smoothie!"
