Y’all if you love lemonade, you have to try this recipe. I’m a southern girl and if I’m going to drink lemonade, it’s gonna be fresh squeezed and made with real sugar. Yum!! Yum!!

Here is a Perfect Recipe to make fresh squeezed lemonade. I look forward to hearing how you like it. So gather your supplies and be sure to use a clear pitcher for lemonade just because it’s so pretty with lemon’s floating in the pitcher. This

The real secret to this recipe is the lemon zest. You want to heat the lemon zest along with the sugar in approx. 2 cups of water. Do not bring to a boil. Heat until the sugar is dissolved and then stain the mixture before adding additional ingredients.

This lemonade recipe goes well with my Hot Chicken Salad Recipe and my Zucchini Artichoke Lasagna Recipe
