When life gives you lemons make lemonade. We have heard this saying time and time again. We are rarely taught how to make that delicious drink. Lemonade being one of the simplest drinks requiring three ingredients. What do you make when life throws you a rambutan. Well I had never heard of a dragon fruit until about 10 years ago.
