Old Fashioned Lemonade


Take time to make homemade lemonade this summer. Sure, it isn't as quick as opening a can of concentrated or tearing a package open of a powdered mix, but sometimes you just want the real stuff, right?

Ingredients: 3/4 cup granulated sugar (add 1/4 cup more if you like yours sweeter) 5 cups water 1 cup lemon juice

Directions: Heat the sugar and ONE cup water in a saucepan until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Meanwhile, using a juicer, extract juice from enough lemons to get 1 cup of juice (5 or 6 lemons).

Add the dissolved sugar water and lemon juice into a pitcher.

Add the remaining 4 cups cold water; refrigerate one hour.

Pour into glasses filled with ice.
