Sugar and Water...mmm, I say

After all, Sugar and Water is one of the simplest drink to make in the world, other than bottled water...if you call that a drink.

I dont know why it's called the poor man's beverage, because truth be known, this drink might have originated with the Plantation Owners, except the ice, back in the good old days.

And, these guys were far from being poor.

Hey, let's drink and be merry.

Ingredients:

2 oz. Brown Sugar

16 oz. Water

2 cubes of Ice

Mix Brown Sugar in a sixteen ounce glass of water until dissolved, add Ice. And Voila!!!

Poor man beverage is ready.

Squeeze ½ of a lime in this sugar and water solution and Jamaican Lemonade is made.

You dont have to use Brown Sugar to make this drink, you know. Fine granulated white sugar will do just well.

You can even do a variation on this like add a samll amount of lemon juice to some sugar cane juice...not quite the same drink but a good thirst quencher.

Believe me this is a wonderful drink in any tropical weather.

YAH MON!!!
