Refreshing Lemonade
I love lemonade. It’s a drink that you can easily buy a mix for, but one always has to wonder what they’re putting in that powder. I’ve tried many homemade lemonade recipes and they always seem to either have way too much sugar or way too much lemon. I think with this recipe, I’ve found the balance of both. It isn’t so sweet that it will leave that sugary slick in your mouth, and it isn’t so tart that you’ll quickly regret taking a sip. You’ll love the balance of sweet and sour in this, the perfect, refreshing drink on a hot summer’s day!
