We love homemade everything-- it tastes great and usually costs much less.  Drinks are big in our house-- lemonade included.

Here's what you need:

• 2 quarts of water
• 6 lemons
• 1 cup of sugar
• Plenty of ice

Here's what to do:

• Bring one cup of water and one cup of sugar (more or less to taste) to a boil stir occasionally to dilute the sugar
• Squeeze six lemons-- you should get about one cup
• Put the sugar water and the lemon juice into a two quart container
• Top off the container with cold water and ice
• Shake and serve

It will beat the powder mixes every time!

Enjoy.
