When we lived in San Mateo, it was always a treat to go over to Grandma Nelson's house and pick lemons off her tree. Then, bring the lemons home and make lemonade. The kids all pitched in to help juice the lemons. We were especially thrilled to make lemonade with the lemons from our own tree once before we moved away.
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 cup sugar
5 cups cold water
ice cubes
Combine sugar, lemon juice and 2 cups water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add remaining water and stir well. Serve with ice. Garnish with fresh lemon slices, if desired.
Everything here is "to taste" for a sweeter or tarter lemonade, just adjust the amount of lemon juice or sugar. Be sure to taste test before serving. Sparkling water, 7-up or Sprite can be substituted for some or all of the cold water to make a sparkling lemonade.
