liquids. Milk, cream, juices etc. do not weigh a pound for every pint. I think it's a bit more than that. when I make lemonaide, I use reconstituted lemon juice,(generic) and sugar and water. 1 cup lemon juice, 3/4 cup sugar, to 1 pitcher(2 qts) water. Mix well. A bit on the sour side but really enough kick to take the edge off really hot days. finnebhir
