28184 Old Fashioned Lemonade
Jessica, Jamie's big sister was the leader in the kitchen growing up. She made all kinds of wonderful things. We were fortunate to grow up with a Meyer lemon tree in our backyard. When God gave us lemons... Jessica made lemonade, Lemon Meringue Pie, Lemon bars...
28184 Old Fashioned Lemonade
4 Meyer Lemons
3/4 cup sugar
1 Quart Water
Wash your lemons thoroughly. Slice lemons into thin slices. Be sure to remove all of the seeds. In the bottom of your favorite aluminum bowl layer lemon slices sprinkled with sugar. Using a potato masher, pestle or citrus reamer extract juice from slices. Add the water and press slices a bit more until desired flavor is achieved. Pour lemonade and slices into a pitcher. Serve lemonade over ice with a slice of lemon garnishing the glass.
Serve at your lemonade stand or on a hot day.
