I took the long way 'round and used the "Author's Recipe" simply because it sounded like fun! I also used the orange juice option. This was a delight to sip in the shade and fun to make. Made for Spain & Portugal's June, 2010 Tag Game - ORANGES! Thanks for sharing this cool, orange flavored lemonade!
