How to make the Perfect Lemonade.

This Recipe comes from Recipe.com

Hi. It's Miranda with Recipe.com, and today, I'm gonna show you how to make the Perfect Lemonade. Now, this recipe uses freshly squeezed lemons and a really easy simple syrup. We're also going to match that with some home-made ice cubes featuring a li... see more
What You'll Need
  • 1   cup water

  • 1 1/2  cups sugar

  • 15 - 18   lemons (3 cups juice)

  • 5   cups cold water

  • 1   lemon, washed and thinly sliced

  • 14   small fresh mint sprigs

Step By Step
1
For the sugar syrup, bring water and sugar to boil in saucepan, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Pour into bowl. Cool.
2
Microwave 5 or 6 lemons at a time on High 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, just until warm to the touch. Cut lemons in half and squeeze juice. Discard seeds and transfer juice and pulp to a large pitcher. Repeat with remaining lemons. Stir in cooled syrup and water.
3
Measure 1-1/2 cups lemonade mixture in a 2-cup glass measure. (Stir sliced lemon into remaining lemonade mixture; cover and set aside.) Arrange one sprig of mint per cube in an ice-cube tray; pour in the 1-1/2 cups lemonade mixture. Freeze the lemonade ice-cube tray 4 hours, until firm. Cover and refrigerate lemonade.
4
Pour lemonade into tall glasses over ice cubes.


For the tastiest results, use fresh-squeezed lemon juice in this puckery-sweet drink recipe. Want another twist? Be sure to try the peachy version, too. Once you get the hang of how to make lemonade, you'll never want to reach for soda on a summer afternoon again.

Peach Cake

1 large can sliced peaches, drained and mashed (I used 2 regular cans since that is all I had at the time) You could also use fresh peaches.

Drain the peaches and empty into a large bowl. I just used my hands to mash them. Add flour, sugar and soda and mix well. Spray a 9 x 13 inch cake pan and pour in batter. Bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for 35 minutes. See recipe below for icing.

ICING:
3/4 cup sugar
