Don’t Drink the Water: Lemonade — 1 Comment

  1. I can understand oranges and lemons traveling from Seville, Spain on time. However, how on earth did they get China oranges to England? I can only assume they had transported the plants and had grown them in a conservatory or orangery. I can barely get fruit home from the grocery before they ripen. Even as a child, we always enjoyed lemonade during hot homecomings or family reunions. We even had fruit under the Christmas tree. It was such a treat. I can see how those during the Regency would enjoy the cooling effects of lemonade during the hot London summer. This was an excellent post since we are experiencing high summer.
