...make lemonade

Life's handed me a couple of (metaphorical) lemons in the past few weeks, so yesterday I decided that I might as well put a cliché to good use and attempt to make some (actual) lemonade. Simple and delicious! I found a recipe online and followed it exactly.

Ingredients:
6 lemons
1 cup white sugar
6 cups cold water

Directions:
1. Juice the lemons to make 1 cup of juice. To make your labor easier, FIRMLY roll the lemons between your hand and counter top* before cutting in half and juicing. 

2. In a gallon pitcher combine 1 cup lemon juice, 1 cup sugar, and 6 cups cold water. Stir. Adjust water to taste. Chill and serve over ice.
