Notes&Tips:

• Lemonade is an easy, refreshing drink for hot summer days. And like any other drink, everyone has their way of making it. Some like it to have a sour lemon flavor, others like it more on the sweet side. No matter how you like it though, it is a drink that can be found almost anywhere on the planet.

• If you want a sour lemonade, just add half cup sugar, taste and then add more if you like.

• The type of lemons used will also determine the taste, so be aware of that fact when you make lemonade.

• Meyer lemons are not as tart as the regular variety, so use less sugar if using Meyer lemons.

• Limes can be substituted for the lemons and make just as good a drink - "limeade". If you've never had limeade, you should try it sometime. I grew up drinking more limeade than lemonade, and they are both great.
