Oh! where are those delicious refreshers...  Who knows how to brew them?
I'm really searching for the recipe for 'Guavaberry'.
I remember there was a big gallon behind the (entrance) door of every west indian person in my town. My great uncle had this bottle looking like it was 20 years old, with a piece of linen over the mouth, wrap around with a string...He just kept pouring new rum over those berries...

JaJajaaaa I love a lime water and sugar...
But my uncle had a better one , he called "Mule Mouth"...
It was about a 1 cup of molasses, the juice of a lime (not lemon) and enough water to dilute it. That was Vitamin B

Be carefull with the lemond and molasses, the combination can be used as a laxative, and I know what you want is a refreshing drink.

Thanks, msjoy. At least it will be a healthy laxative.
Anyone ever tried ginger and aloes blended together? It is a good laxative.
