it's summer finally!

It's those first few days of real summer weather: an average of 80 degrees and a 50% chance of rain.  Time to get rid of the hot chocolate packets and hot coffee and pull out the lemonade and iced tea.  I'm a fan of simple recipes, since I really dislike cooking complicated recipes, so over the years, I've come up with the perfect lemonade recipe!  Hope you like it!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
cold water
ice, lemon or lime slivers (optional)

In a half-gallon jug or pitcher, add lemon juice and sugar. Give a quick stir to mix the two together a bit.  Then, add water to fill the rest of the jug or pitcher.  Stir well.  Take the seeds out of any lemons or limes and cut into slivers.  Add to the mix if you wish.  Best served on ice!
