(Out of Season?) Lemonade!

The weather has been hovering in the 98-104 degree range the past few days, so I decided it was time for some hand-squeezed lemonade. Unfortunately, the lemons I bought from Trader Joe's were small and didn't have a whole lot of juice inside. I'm thinking I missed the lemon season :-)

In any case, here is the recipe I made up:

3/4 C fresh-squeezed lemon juice
3/4 C sugar
3 C water

Combine the 3 ingredients in a small pitcher. If the sugar doesn't dissolve easily, you can heat the entire thing in the microwave for a minute or on the stove until the sugar is dissolved. Then, chill for a few hours, and serve over ice cubes in a glass! (The glass is more conductive than plastic and will keep your drink colder longer.)

Of course, you can add less/more sugar or water to taste.

Yummm!
