Homemade Lemonade

Growing up we had lemon trees in our backyard. We always made Lemon cookies, and lemonade. Its so yummy on a hot day!


Ingredients:

(This recipe is coming to you in PARTS, that way you can make as much or as little as you want. When I made it in the pitcher I used 1 cup for the part)

1 part lemon juice *real lemons people, not the already squeezed stuff you can buy at the super-maret*
1 part sugar
1 part hot water

mix those ingredients until sugar is dissolved, then add
3-4 parts ice cold water.

Mix and serve.

Since I used 1 cup this is what my recipe was:

1 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1 cup hot water
3-4 cups ice water

So my friend Cyndy dropped this off to my house this morning and I knew from the second I saw it I would have to get that recipe out of her, and surprisingly enough she didn't even put up a fight. So you can all thank @CyndyMickelson for this recipe. I know I do!


Ingredients for the powder mix:

1 cup orange tang (I know right!)
3 cups sugar
12 oz lemonade mix (like Countrytime)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves

Makes 46 cups.

I know Cyndy doubled the recipe and made 15 jars (I think that is what she said)

How to make the drink:

Add 2 Tablespoons of the mix (recipe above) to 1 cup boiling water

Recipe came from the one and only Cyndy M. Love ya!

Christmas Eve Punch

This punch was a tradition in our family for every Christmas Eve and New Year's. I love it, and it is SO very easy.


1-46 oz can pineapple juice
12 oz can lemonade concentrate
12 oz can orange juice concentrate
4 cups water
1 qt of 7-up (1/2 of a 2 liter)

mix. I cut up a lemon and freeze it in water in the bottom of a bundt pan for a garnish.

Recipe from my Mom.
