norwegian waffles and hot lemonade

Recently the residents of 48 hosted a clothing swap. we had to feed the people, so we made hot lemonade and norwegian waffles.

we've made hot lemonade once before. It's easy, and it's a good combo of refreshing and comfortingly warm in the winter. It can be spiked, but best to do it individually (as always, I recommend whiskey.)

recipe? lemon juice, water, sugar. heat. Slices lemons to garnish. adjust everything to taste.

I use bottled lemon juice from the fish section - easier than squeezing 10 million lemons and then the lemon slices are prettier and not deformed.




Norwegian waffles are made on a special waffle iron that produces a circle of heart-shaped waffles. They are designed and blessed to use up all leftover dairy products in your fridge, and they have cardamom in them.

special waffle iron that I got for xmas from my mom, (thanks mom!)


Batter. here's the thing, you can really put anything in it. This one had:
3 eggs, 1.5 cups flour, pinch of salt, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon cardamom, and 1 cup of sour cream. But later I made one with yogurt instead of sour cream and half and half instead of milk. It's just whatever.



then butter the waffle iron, pour, and eat! delicious. good plain, with butter, with jam, or with applesauce. But definitely best hot and fresh. The batter keeps a day or two in the fridge.
