Homemade Bug Juice Food

CHERRY BUG JUICE

Steps:

• For the simple syrup: Bring the sugar, lemon zest and 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepot. Allow to simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and stir in the lemon juice. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to chill for at least 1 hour.
• For the bug juice: Place the cherries in a blender with the lemon simple syrup. Blend on high speed until the cherries are completely pulverized. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer.
• Combine the cherry juice with 3 cups water in a large pitcher. Serve over ice.

BUG JUICE

Steps:

• Combine the grape and raspberry apple juice and chill. Using the mixed juice, fill ice cube trays and put 1 blueberry in each compartment. Just before serving add the soda to the fruit juice and the ice cubes.

NATURAL FRUIT TREE BUG REPELLENT

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in an empty gallon-sized jug with the top cut off.
• Hang one solution in each of your fruit bearing trees - works at its best if you begin the treatments before the trees blossom.
• Continue to use the treatment until the end of the fruit bearing season, replacing as often as neccesary.
• (rain water will dilute the solution, and lots of bug will too - check it every few days).
