WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS – MAKE LEMONADE!
WITH THE SUMMER HERE THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN GOING ON AN OUTDOOR ADVENTURE WITH A DELICIOUS PICNIC IN TOW!
WHY NOT HAVE SOME FUN AND HAVE A GO AT MAKING SOME REFRESHING HOMEMADE LEMONADE? IT’S QUICK AND EASY AND ALSO A GREAT ACTIVITY TO INVOLVE THE CHILDREN.

INGREDIENTS
1 CUP SUGAR (CAN REDUCE TO ¾ CUP)
1 CUP WATER (FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP)
1 CUP LEMON JUICE
3 TO 4 CUPS COLD WATER (TO DILUTE)

METHOD
1) MAKE SIMPLE SYRUP BY HEATING THE SUGAR AND WATER IN A SMALL SAUCEPAN UNTIL THE SUGAR IS DISSOLVED COMPLETELY.

2) WHILE THE SUGAR IS DISSOLVING, USE A JUICER TO EXTRACT THE JUICE FROM 4 TO 6 LEMONS, ENOUGH FOR ONE CUP OF JUICE.

3) ADD THE JUICE AND THE SUGAR WATER TO A PITCHER. ADD 3 TO 4 CUPS OF COLD WATER, MORE OR LESS TO THE DESIRED STRENGTH. REFRIGERATE 30 TO 40 MINUTES. IF THE LEMONADE IS A LITTLE SWEET FOR YOUR TASTE, ADD A LITTLE MORE STRAIGHT LEMON TO IT.

FINALLY, FINISH OFF BY SERVING WITH ICE AND SLICED LEMONS FOR THE PERFECT QUENCH-THIRSTING DRINK!
