Lemonade
"I make this all summer long. I don't know if the kids like it as much as I do but it doesn't last long. I like a bit more lemon juice also, but then again I like Tart."

This was so simple to make. A hint to get the most juice from your lemons, roll them on the counter top for a while and then squeeze. I also cut up two limes and added them to the pitcher of lemonade. Fantastic drink. Very refreshing. -
Perfect! It took 4 regular size lemons to make about a cup and a half juice. Just the right amount of tart and sweet. Thank you! -
Hit the spot! Very refreshing accompaniment to our Southern Buttermilk Bonanza meal. Thanks for posting this recipe. -
We use less water (5 ½ cups) and less sugar (3/4 cup) for a tarter lemonade. Delicious! :)

Its good 10 out of 10 but I cut my finger during the process But it was worth it,It was sour but my mom put more water and sugar and made it perfect.:p

Now after you are done, take 1 large orange, slice into rounds and put that into the lemonade instead of the slices of lemons. -
I also found the sugar couldn't dissolve properly so I used icing sugar instead. Around 1 3/4 cup to 2 cups does the trick.
