Short and Sweet

For the past couple of weeks, we have been dealing with extreme heat and high humidity (and no relief in sight!).  What could be more refreshing on a hot summer day, than a tall glass of cool, refreshing lemonade?  It is so simple to make at home and tastes better than any store-bought lemonade I've ever tried. 

Here is my recipe.  I would like to share it with you...

Squeeze the juice of 8 lemons and pour through sieve to get rid of seeds and pulp.   

In a large pitcher add 8 cups of cold water, juice of 8 lemons, and approximately 1 1/2 cups of sugar (more or less, according to your taste).  I use instant dissolving granulated sugar, which dissolves easily into cold liquids.  Stir well.  Lastly, add a couple of fresh mint sprigs into the pitcher.  Ta-da! It's that easy.  Refrigerate.  Serve cold.  Add ice to a tall glass and pour.

 

Wishing everyone a happy Sunday.  Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend and keeping cool, somehow or another.  XOXO
