100% lemonade!



100% lemonade

the weatherman says its going to be 100% hothot summer weather. i say its 100% lemonade weather! this lemonade is light, crisp, lemony, the perfect amount of sweet and 100% good feelings. drink and feel nice!


5 lemons
1 1/4 quarts water
1 1/4 C sugar


1.peel the rind from lemons (i grated) and cut into 1/2 inch slices. set aside lemons
2. place rinds in bowl and sprinkle with sugar. let stand for 1 hour as the sugar absorbs the oils from the lemon.



3. bring water to a boil and pour into bowl with the lemon sugar mixture. let cool for about 20 minutes & then remove the rinds.



4. squeeze the juice from the lemons in a separate bowl & then pour the juice into the sugar mixture through a strainer. stir well. pour into a pitcher and place in fridge to cool.

I was referred to your page by Meg at Too Many Chefs. Love the photos and recipe, but could you make the font more readable? Thanks.
