Steemit selfie with Kush and milos Lemonade

I took a selfie for @Steemit at 3 in the morning :) The kush was good, you can see it in my eyes...

Today I went for a swim in a sun shower, went to the store got the kids snacks and found Milos Lemonade @Walmart. It's really good.

My son asked me where Lemonade came from...

It appears that the all-American summer drink, lemonade, may have had its origin in medieval Egypt. Although the lemon originates farther to the east, and lemonade may very well have been invented in one of the eastern countries, the earliest written evidence of lemonade comes from Egypt. The first reference to the lemon in Egypt is in the chronicles of the Persian poet and traveler Nasir-i-Khusraw (1003-1061?), who left a valuable account of life in Egypt under the Fatamid caliph al-Mustansir (1035-1094). The trade in lemon juice was quite considerable by 1104. We know from documents in the Cairo Geniza--records of the medieval Jewish community in Cairo from the tenth through thirteenth centuries--that bottles of lemon juice, qatarmizat, were made with lots of sugar and consumed locally and exported.
