I did not know there was an art to lemonade until I moved South. Certainly I had tried to make it before, but it never turned out the way I thought it should. And we had lemons growing in the yard when I lived in California! (Oh, how I do miss that!)
It never occurred to me there was a method. There is, and it is similar to making sweet tea. You don't know about sweet tea? (Hint: it's not iced tea with a packet of sugar added to it) That will be a post for another day.
This is awesome for any hot summer day!
