Lemonade — Still stuck on lemons
A friend was at our house the other day. It was an early afternoon, and I offered lemonade. Realizing I was out, I poured the last glass and said, “Hold on, I’ll make some more.” “What do you mean, you’ll make some more?” she inquired. She was unaware that people made lemonade. It does not all come from gallon jugs, and it is an incredibly simple and thoughtful concoction to offer your guests. Here, I give you three variations:
Steph’s Lemonade
This basic blend is the reason our household buys RealLemon juice in bulk.
1 C. fresh lemon juice or RealLemon
1 C. Sugar
Add both to a 2-Liter pitcher (standard size.) Fill with water. Stir. Serve over ice, and add a sprig of mint if you really want to be fancy.
Sweet Southern Lemonade Tea
Make lemonade as directed above.
Make strong tea. (6-8 teabags, one liter of water, pour over ice to melt.)
Mix together 3 parts tea to 1 part lemonade.
Memphis Rum & Lemonade
It is almost summer in the South, y’all. I had this many years ago in Memphis, strolling down Beale Street, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Make lemonade per directions above, except, only fill to 1.5 liter mark. Pour a strong shot of rum in a glass over ice. Add lemonade to the top. Drink on your front porch.

Your friend must not be a cook.
But this recipe makes it seem awfully easy!
