Lemonade, Better Than Your Grandma Made


We're loving refreshing drinks over here. Mike  replicated a lemonade that I had at a restaurant last week because it was soooo good that I wanted him to figure out how to make it. And oh my goodness did he ever figure it out! YUM. So I'm going to share with you the recipe... but you have to do something in return.
A little pass it forward if you will. Fill a water bottle up with some lemonade you make, and give it to the homeless person you pass almost every day. It's a little love in a bottle. And we're all about love.

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
3 cups water
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tblspn honey

Directions:
Take 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water and combine in a pot. Heat on medium to dissolve the sugar. Stir. Once dissolved, pour it into the pitcher. Add 2 more cups of cold water into the pitcher and stir. Pour in 1 cup lemon juice from fresh squeezed lemons, and 1 tblspn of honey. To make it really yummy, add in some blueberries or strawberries. Oh my gosh I'm honestly craving some right now. Enjoy!

It's always fun adding things to lemonade. A coworker and I were talking about trying lavender lemonade sometime... =)

I think even just adding blueberries to plain old crystal light would make it taste 10X better, but your recipe sounds soooooooooooooo good!!!
