Lemonade

Angelica brought 6 lemons over today with a request - "to make lemonade".

Ingredients:
6 lemons from the tree in Angelica's backyard (or about 1 3/4 cups lemon juice)
8 cups water
1 cup sugar

I washed the lemons and then each kid rolled 2 lemons on the countertop to loosen up the juice.  We took turns juicing them while 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar boiled on the stove to make simple syrup. Instead of letting the simple syrup cool we added cold water and ice, stirred it all up and enjoyed a delicious cup of semi-tart lemonade.
