Fresh Lemonade Recipe

by Mindy Merrell

Making real lemonade with fresh lemon juice, water, and sugar is little more work than stirring up a batch of instant, so go for the original. Its taste can?t be beaten. Juicing lemons is quick and easy with a handy citrus reamer or juicer. Roll lemons on the kitchen counter with the palm of your hand before cutting to release even more juice.

If pink is your color, simply add a few drops of red food coloring or grenadine syrup to the lemonade. Mint sprigs make a sophisticated garnish, and crushed mint adds a fragrant, minty flavor. Or, substitute fresh lime juice for some or all of the lemon juice for a more exotic refreshment.



Ingredients
3 cups water
1 cup freshly squeezed
lemon juice
(about 5 large lemons)
3/4 cup sugar
Instructions
