I like to serve this for ladies' luncheons. It's beautiful served in a pretty glass mug, garnished with a strawberry 'fan' and mint leaf. But, more than that it's not too sweet, so is a nice accompaniment. One of my favorite luncheons is a cantaloupe cut in half and having tooth-edges around the circumference, filled with chicken salad with pineapple and pecans. served on a butter lettuce leaf. Lemon blueberry muffins are nice with it, too. But it makes a nice 'smoothie' type drink, too, just for the fun of it.

1 T lemon juice
