How to Make Homemade Lemonade

"4-1-1, Please!"  Making a pitcher of fresh lemonade is easy and truly refreshing. Just remember 4-1-1...

• 4 cups of water
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice

If you use super-fine sugar, the sugar will dissolve in the water faster. Pour the 1 cup of sugar into 1 cup of the water and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the rest of the water and lemon juice, stir, and, voilà, you have fresh lemonade! Serve over ice then garnish with fresh lemon slices.

If you don't have super-fine sugar, you can make your own, by putting regular sugar into your food processor and giving it a few spins.

OR, make a simple syrup. Use one of the cups of water with the cup of sugar and heat on the stove until the sugar dissolves. Voilà! Simple Syrup!

Yes, this has a lot of sugar. So it's not something you'll want to drink every day, but if you have fresh lemons, it's Gr8 as a treat! And lemons do have some nutritional benefits.

Make a Cocktail

If your kids are drinking lemonade and you want something a little stronger, just add a shot to your glass!

Simply fill the glass of your choice with ice, pour in a shot of vodka (or tequila!) then fill the glass with lemonade and garnish with a slice of lemon, or a mint sprig.

Slow down, make a pitcher, and invite a neighbor to sit on the front porch with you and sip this beautiful, refreshing drink.
