Stacey’S Best Homemade Lemonade

1. 1

   Juice the lemons and the orange.

2. 2

   Mix the sugar with 1 cup of the water and heat to a slow boil, cooking for about 2 minutes until sugar is dissolved. This will allow the sugar to mix in better instead of sitting on the bottom of the pitcher. Allow to cool a little.

3. 3

   Mix the juices with the sugar water, remaining water, and ice cubes. Mix well and adjust lemon as necessary to desired tartness.

4. 4

   (I always double this recipe and serve in a large pitcher, as it goes so quickly. Black and Decker makes an inexpensive electric juicer that makes the job go like a snap.)
