Make Lemonade!

One of the most exciting things that happened this weekend in our family was the arrival of some WONDERFUL lemons from our good friends, the Brewers. Oh man... we love homemade, FRESH lemonade! Thank you thank you Brewer family!

We juiced and juiced and juiced lemons. And then I pointed out we had two more bags. The giggles... the joy... the anticipation. Making lemonade is almost as much fun for the kids as drinking it!

The recipe we use:

Make a syrup with 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water by bringing to a boil in a saucepan. Add 1 cup lemon juice. Finally, add 3-4 cups of cold water! Perfect! We like it more tart... we use just three cups of cold water. And we always DOUBLE the batch!
