Homemade Lemonade
 

Summer is coming! 

Great for the kids to sell at your yardsale or as at a fundraiser booth. Make in batches to make more.

Homemade Lemonade Recipe:

1 c fresh lemon juice (approximately 5 or 6 large lemons)
3/4 cups of sugar
3 1/2- 4  cups of water

Slice one half lemon and place slices in the bottom of your beverage container. In a measuring bowl, mix the juice, sugar, and water. Pour over the lemon slices. Refrigerate. Yields a little over 1 qt

You may want to add a little of the water to the sugar and melt it to a syrup it so that the sugar does not clump at the bottom of the pitcher.  Let it cool just a bit before adding but not so cool it becomes a solid again.

Another idea:
Using an empty gallon jug from spring water, add a little water (1-2 cups) to it and freeze creating a small block of ice, then add the lemonade mixture to the jug minus the amount of water you put in the jug to keep it cold.  This also makes the drink portable and great for a classroom treat.
