Lemon Cooler

This is a recipe that was shared with me by a friend of mine who is known for her cooking. It is a great summer drink that Iis light and very refreshing. It is elegant enough to be served at bridal showers yet great for less formal occasions as well. Particularly ideal when you are looking for a drink that is not red for a kids party.

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 10-15

Ingredients

• 1  gallon water, cold
• 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
• 1  teaspoon  lemon extract (not the artificial flavoring)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons  citric acid (powder form)

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together in a pitcher and stir until sugar is dissolved.
2. This drink tastes best cold so chill until serving.
3. Serve over ice with a slice of lemon for the garnish.
4. Make sure you do not leave out the citric acid. This gives this drink some tartness. You can usually find it at health food stores.
