My friend Maggie has a lemon tree in her yard and she brought me a bag full of lemons. When friends give you lemons, make lemonade!
I have never made real lemonade before, I had no idea how easy it would be! I looked up multiple recipes for lemonade, they all had the same 3 ingredients (water, sugar, lemon juice...pretty simple). Each recipe called for a different ratio of these ingredients so, I decided to let my taste buds be my guide. When I was finally satisfied, this was my recipe:
6 cups water
1 cup of sugar
1 1/3 cup of lemon juice (for me this was 4 lemons, but my lemons were pretty big)
I also had some old(scary, almost moldy) strawberries, I put them in my poor-man's "magic bullet" and voila! Strawberry puree :) I added a spoonful to each glass of lemonade....it was de-lish!!
