Summer is on the way!!! Can't wait to be back in the garden and serving my "almost famous" lemonade! These two versions of lemonade are fit for a princess! What many people don't realize, is that they should start off with boiling water.... and then cool the lemonade.... this is an old Victorian way of making lemonade. I make lemonade in 5 gallon cooler and bring it to the garden everyday in the summer.... I get so many compliments! I use version #2 for the garden.
