Kelley's Klassic Summertime Lemonade

 Start with about a dozen lemons...I have Meyer lemons and Eureka lemons in my orchard

 The Meyer's are so delicious and can be found in most supermarkets...I've seen bags at my local Trader Joe's too!  The difference in the size and color of the lemons is really funny!  Meyers tend to have lots of seeds but yield a lot of juice

 Get out you juicer and juice away....

 You will need about 2 cups of juice 

for a nice large quart pitcher

 Add 2 cups of cold water to your lemon juice

 make a simple syrup by adding 1/2 to 3/4 cup of superfine sugar 

to 

 1 cup of water

regular granulated sugar is fine too

 I usually heat up the sugar water in the microwave

 to get the sugar to dissolve faster

 Add the syrup water to your lemonade mixture and test for sweetness...we like it pretty tart and the Meyer lemons are incredibly sweet as it is

 Add some lemon slices to your pitcher 

and garnish your glasses with lemon slices

Fill glasses with lots of ice 

And last but not least...have a seat in your favorite chair and sip away!

A summertime Classic

Cheers!
