PERFECT LEMONADE (REAL LEMONS AND SUGAR)
Found this recipe on "simply recipes". I wanted to make lemonade from scratch, real freshly squeezed lemons and simple syrup and I came across this recipe. Made this for my 6 year old and friends' lemonade stand sales, my pitcher never came home. Turns out my friend who helped the kids with the stand, liked my lemonade better than the powdered stuff, kept my lemonade for herself! Please do adjust to taste, I think the lemons I had were more tart so I added more simple syrup.

EASY LEMONADE
You can use a combination of lemon and lime, or lemon and orange, or lemon, lime AND orange! 3/4 cup is about 3 large lemons, but measure it because you don't want it too tart!

Tips:
- Choose ripe lemons: The riper the lemons, the more juice they will produce and the sweeter your lemonade will be.
- Use filtered or spring water: Tap water can contain impurities that can affect the taste of your lemonade.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add to your lemonade is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired sweetness.
- Chill your lemonade before serving: Cold lemonade is more refreshing than warm lemonade.
- Add garnishes: Lemon slices, mint sprigs, or berries can add a pop of color and flavor to your lemonade.
