Make fresh lemonade, of course!
Making your own is just so much better than that frozen stuff. Plus it is so easy.
What you will need,
1 cup of water
1 cup of white sugar
2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice (10-12 lemons)
6 cups of water
sliced lemons for garnish
First put 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and it just starts to bubble. Remove from the heat, bring to room temperature then stash in the fridge to cool off.
Meanwhile you can start squeezing your lemons. I used a hand squeezer but if you are a lucky duck and have an electric good for you!
In a large pitcher add 6 cups of water, the 2 cups of lemon juice and the simple syrup.
Stir and then chill completely.
The perfect drink on a hot summer day.
A little vodka in there certainly wouldn't hurt!
