Never put hot lemonade into a thermos. I did this on Saturday and my husband drank the whole thing and didn't say anything. I did it today as he has been feeling really punky with a bad cough and cold and the hot lemonade seems to sooth his throat. Well he ended up coming home early so I decided to pour myself as well as him some. It was sort of pink in color and smelled really bad. I asked him if it was like that on Saturday and he said yes that he thought it was just pink lemonade. NOT ! ! He didn't notice the taste as he has a cold and couldn't taste it. Oh my God it smelled awful and tasted worse. I called Country Time to make sure I hadn't poisoned him and they assured me that I hadn't and that it was just the citric acid reacting to the metal. I learned that if all else fails READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ! !
