Grandma's Real Old-Fashioned Natural Lemonade Makes about 8 cups
A Old-Fashioned Summer time treat ...! Great pick-me-up, thirst-quenching, and not too sweet. Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed from 8 large lemons (1-1/2 cups) 1/2 cup of sugar, granulated - more or less to taste 5 cups cold well water 1 large lemon, cut into small wedges or thin cartwheel slices Freshly made Ice cubes. Make fresh ice cubes, as they may pick up freezer odors over a period of time, if not used regularly. In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar and 2 cups of cold water; stir briskly to dissolve the sugar. Add the remaining ingredients and stir briskly again. To make a Honey Flavored Lemonade: Substitute your favorite "honey" for the granulated sugar. Adjust more or less to taste. To make a Pink Lemonade: Add a few drops of grenadine syrup or Grandma's red frosting food coloring. It's a hot summer day, breezes just barly moving, and your sitting in a rocking swing, on the cool shaded front porch. You are sipping a ice cold glass of lemonade, with some leftover birthday cake, from the day before. It can't get any better than that. Not a care in the world. Enjoy the lazy day...! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
