Last Blast Of Summer Lemonade™

This recipe is so easy you will never want to make lemonade from a powder again.

1 c. - 1  1/2 c. fresh lemon juice 4 large lemons (adjust amount needed).
1 - 2 c. prepared simple syrup (adjusted amount needed)
4 c. cold water

Cut lemons in half. 

Put halved lemon in microwave for 10 sec. 

You can roll lemons on he kitchen counter with your hands for a few seconds too before cutting the lemons.

 I've used an electric citrus juicer, but you can squeeze juice through sieve with your hands or citrus squeezer into a pitcher.

Add 1 c. of the simple syrup and the water.  

Mix well. You can can add more simple syrup if desired. 

Serves 6 - 8.
