As the warmer weather approaches, adults and children know it is lemonade season. Lemonade is truly a warm weather drink – something you just don’t find in the dead of winter. If you haven’t had homemade lemonade then you are in for a treat.
Lemonade is easy to make and people differ about what exactly makes the “best” recipe. Often you’ll have to tinker a bit with the recipe to get your favorite blend of both tartness and sweetness. Some people like a sweeter taste and others prefer less sweetness. The best way to make lemonade is to keep tasting it as you are mixing it.
