When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade!

I can't believe summer's over, can you? Back to school, where you have to learn for 8 hours of the day and then, come home and do homework for an hour. But just to remind myself of the glory of summer vacation, I like to have a glass of lemonade. MMMMMmmmmmm, lemonade. Yeah, I know what all you parents out there are thinking: "Lemonade is just sugar water and citrus, you don't need that in your body!" Well, that may be true, but the disgusting processed kind from a packet just won't do. It's unhealthy, and plus, as I said, in the fall and winter, lemonade is supposed to remind you of summer! The packet kind just reminds me of a bitter, tasteless season that doesn't exist. So, we make it homemade! It's delicious, and it's a little bit better for your body. All you need is lemons, ice, simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water) and regular water. Try this recipe the next time you want to enjoy the glory of summer before it comes:

You Need:

• 1-1 and 1/2 lemons
