Homemade is Better

Here's something I'll never buy ready-made or concentrate again: lemonade. I made it today, for the first time, and oh my goodness, yum. Try it, you'll see!

You'll need:
4 (organic) lemons
1 cup (organic) sugar
1 qrt. water

Juice the lemons but don't toss the rinds. Instead, chop them up a bit and put them in a large bowl. Cover them with the sugar, mix a little, and come back in 30 minutes. Now pour boiling water on top of the rind/sugar mixture. When the water is cool, strain the sugar water off and now you can toss the rinds (into your compost). Strain the reserved lemon juice into the sugar water mixture. Chill awhile. Serve with lots of ice.

Seriously, you'll never drink it any other way again.
