OLD-FASHIONED LEMONADE
This is one of the first recipes that I added to my first recipe file that was my very own, back when I was in junior high school. I have used this recipe ever since then, whenever I want to make that classic summertime necessity....lemonade. And it has never failed me yet.

Steps:
- 1. To get the most juice, let lemons stand at room temperature (or microwave lemons on High for just a few seconds before squeezing them). Then roll the lemons on a counter while pushing down firmly (to break the tissues inside) to release more juice.
- 2. Slice each lemon in half, and squeeze all halves to release juice into a large (2-quart) pitcher. Add water and sugar to pitcher and stir until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
- 3. Pour chilled lemonade over ice cubes in a tall glass. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice and maraschino cherry, if desired.
