These past few weeks I have found myself patronizing the local library quite a bit, using the online library catalog to request items from neighboring county libraries. I checked out a Martha Stewart DVD full of summertime ideas, one of which was a recipe for homemade lemonade. Dearest d. and I made a large pitcher of lemonade to accompany our homemade sweet potato fries. Mmmm, yum!
Summertime Lemonade (from Martha Stewart)
Makes about 2 quarts
1 cup sugar syrup (recipe follows)
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about six large lemons)
In a large pitcher, combine 2 quarts cold water, sugar syrup, and lemon juice. Add ice, and serve in tall glasses.
