There's nothing like a big glass of old-fashioned lemonade to cool you down on a hot summer's day.
Lemonade Recipe
You'll Need:
The juice from 8 large lemons (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup sugar (or more to your liking)
5 cups water
lemon slices
ice
What To Do:
Combine the lemon juice, sugar and water in a pitcher. Make sure to get all the seeds out to prevent choking.
Add lemon slices and ice and stir.
Serve immediately.
To make pink lemonade, add a bit of Rose's Grenadine or a few drops of red food coloring.
For the older kids, it might seem like a fun idea to let them put together a lemonade stand. But just remember, these days, there are all sorts of deterrents to that practice. You might want to check your local ordinances first.
