The Perfect Lemonade

Summer Beverage

Flowers are a-blooming, bees are a-buzzing and birds are a-pooing :p.  Yep, weather is finally warming up (kinda)! 

Dainty magnolias bursting out.

But not next week :(
Oh dear, just brought the quilts to the dry cleaner.

A great way to combat the heat is having pitchers of homemade lemonade on standby.

Process:

• microwave 1 1/4 cups of white sugar and 1 cup of water to make syrup
• bring out your ancient juicer and get ready to collect juice of 6 lemons; roll with pressure the lemons on the counter to get the maximum juice before juicing
  
• combine in your pitchers
• garnish with thin lemon slices and some roughly chopped mint if you have some on standby
• fill up your glasses with ice cubes and your homemade lemonade, enjoy & relax
