My husband and I had been working outside in the hot sun all day. When evening came we sat on the porch to rest for a few minutes and he asked me if we had lemonade. I knew we didn't have any frozen lemonade. I looked up some recipes on my phone. I was finding recipes made with syrup (takes 24 hours), recipes that take 20 lemons (I had 4) and then I found this easy lemonade recipe. I did modify it some to suit our tastes. I can't wait until Mary makes this because she makes really good strawberry lemonade with mint. I think it would be good with peaches or raspberries too.
2 medium lemons or 4-6 limes
4 cups water
1/2 cup sugar + however much you want to sweeten it.
Rinse and quarter the lemons or half the limes. Pour it all on the blender and blend well. I used the highest setting. Strain the liquid into a pitcher and add 4 more cups of water. Stir well. Add more sugar if desired. Also add your blended strawberries, raspberries or peaches now.
This makes really good lemonade. I did read though that it is best if you drink it the same day. Which certainly was not a problem for us! We played Dominos with our daughter and her boyfriend and the lemonade went fast!
