We have been enjoying our summer days here at the Nest immensely. Each day has been filled with activities, beach days, daytrips and lots of birthdays. We have four birthdays alone just in the month of August! That has meant alot of BBQ's, spending time with loved ones and friends, and CAKE.
One of the fun things the children enjoy doing each summer is creating their own "Lemonade Stand". This is often set up in our living room and the odd time they are allowed to go out to the front of our house on the sidewalk to setup and sell their lemonade to families or children walking by. They are at the point now where they can make the lemonade on their own with minimal help and its wonderful to see them work together cooperating for their common goal.
They spend the morning creating their own signs, making their own little money box and getting all the cups and the pitcher ready. With their permission I thought I would share with you all the recipe that they use. It is super easy , yet is not necessarily for the health conscious ! ha!
EASY LEMONADE
Mix well in a 2 quart pitcher:
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
6 cups of cold water
Chill until ready to serve~
PS. For the most enjoyable lemonade experience, pour into frosty clear glasses and garnish with a sliced lemon and a fresh strawberry or cherry !!
oh...and dont forget the ICE!
I will post later in the week but just wanted to say hello and update you all.
Cheers!
