make lemonade
Fresh lemonade reminds me of
going to the boardwalk
and
lemonade stands on a hot summer day
mmm…
ice cold lemonade
can even make a cold winter day bright,
especially when you have fresh lemons.
I make two quarts of lemonade from three of four lemons
it does depend on how juicy they are,
these were very juicy so three is all I needed.
slice them in half
and begin juicing
you can use a hand held juicer,
or a press style juicer
or whichever you have there are so many types
make sure to every last drop
then,
in a pitcher
add 1/3 cup sugar
and dissolve with
2/3 cup warm tap water
it only takes a minute to stir and it will dissolve
then add the lemon juice
and fill with cold water
stir and serve
I rimmed the glass with a slice of lemon and dipped it in sugar
filled the glass with plenty of ice and poured the lemonade in gave it a stir
Any day can be a
sunshine day
with a fresh glass of
ice cold lemonade
and a sun sunshine day reminded me of

January 31, 2010 at 3:39 pmYou know I was talking about myself in my comment, right? I never thought to use warm water to dissolve the sugar.
