Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
So easy a 3 year old can make it! That's right! My 3 year old son has discovered he loves lemonade and he was begging to make some after watching it get made on one of his favorite TV shows. So, we made some for ourselves and it is refreshing and delicious!
This really is a great simple recipe for teaching basic skills like measuring pouring, stirring, and even cutting (for older children).

- 1
In a small sauce pan bring 1 cup of water to a slow boil. Stir in sugar and continue to boil until sugar is completely dissolved, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a simmer if necessary. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. This is your "syrup".

While syrup is cooling "squeeze" your lemons. Cut each lemon in half. Use whatever juicer gadget you have to get as much juice as possible out of those suckers. Strain juice through a mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp. If you like the pulp you can always pick out the seeds as your juicing, but we're not pulp fans.

Pour lemon juice into a 2 quart pitcher. Add 6 cups of cold water and 2 cups of ice. Pour in syrup until you reach your desired sweetnes. The amount needed can vary depending on the lemons. We only used about 3/4 cup of syrup for this batch.
