Remember those Country Time Lemonade commercials during the summer months? Kids are running around the lake, playing on tire swings, and sitting around the porch. What bliss to live such a carefree life. But then again, who in their right mind is waiting for summer just to have lemonade? Let’s break the notion that this refreshing drink can only be consumed when June and July comes rolling around. I say drink it when you crave it. You are less likely to go mad that way.

Note: I like my lemonade on the verge of pure lemon juice, almost to the point where it will start to wear down the enamel of your teeth. I suggest you give the recipe a try and change it according to your taste. Adding a bit more water is just the easiest way, I think.
