picnic lemonade
Hot, humid summers in the heartland call for a refreshing beverage. My recipe.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
A refreshing homemade lemonade for a hot summer's day. Super simple to make, it will have you ditching the powdered stuff. If you use honey, it will add an aromatic, flowery scent to the lemonade. Sweet and tart, perfect to keep on hand for an afternoon picnic or to cool off after yard work.
