It is a hot day... just sitting there... suddenly, that insatiable desire for a cool, refreshing drink. Fortunately, there is a vast amount of that sugared powered drink mix around - the best of them being "Country Time Lemonade".

Rarely do these drink mixes have instructions for 'just one glass' but rather quarts and gallons. A few spoonfuls or there abouts for a glass. Add cold water and presto! a nice, refreshingly cold glass of lemonade.

Maybe the water was a bit 'too' cold (colder the liquid, the harder it is to dissolve stuff in it). Or maybe just a bit too much drink mix. Whatever the case, as the glass nears the bottom, a thick, gooey, 'sludge' (for the lack of a better word) is left of almost pure sugar and flavor with just enough water added to make it ooze slowly to the lip of the cup where it attacks the taste buds with a powerful sweet and tart the likes of cannot be found elsewhere in culinary history.

Such are the sugar highs of summer formed.
