Linaza a Summer Treat

So I know most of my friends that read our blog live in the Northern Hemisphere and are currently dealing with the fun of winter. But for all my friends in the Southern Hemisphere I have a recipe here for a refreshing drink made of Flax Seed and Lemon. I think I drink this everyday here. It is so good. Like a watered down lemonade. Flax seed also has a lot of good benefits for your health. Here is part of an article I found on some benefits (Just if you wanted to know.):

"Flax seed benefits have been gaining popularity over recent years because over 50% of the fat in flax seed is omega 3 fatty acid, making it the richest plant source of omega 3, in addition to many other interesting “bonuses”.... Many nutritionists recommend the regular consumption because of all the flax seeds benefit which have been shown to prevent or reduce the symptoms of arthritis, colitis, cancer , heart disease and even acne. The oil contained in the seeds is also a known natural estrogen balancer that if used regularly can help prevent and reduce symptoms that arise during menopause. It’s also a great source of fiber which can help especially in relieving constipation."

Recipe for Linaza (Spanish for Flax Seed)
1/2 cup of ground flaxseed
1 lemon
1 cup of sugar or less if you want
a blender
a sieve
a pitcher
water

Flax seed in whole form.

Ground flax seed.. Put about 1/2 cup of ground flax seed and a pint of water in a blender.

Blend well. About 2 minutes.

While the flax seed is blending. Cut up a lemon in small pieces.

Put the lemon in the blender. Pulse for a few seconds.

Use a sieve to pour the linaza in a pitcher.

Add water.

Oh yeah, add a cup of sugar. Sugar makes everything better.

Add all that sugar to the mixture.

Add the rest of the water and stir well.

And that is it. You have a tasty, refreshing drink for summer.
