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.

    *** I freeze blocks of this lemonade in covered containers and put it in my big 5 gallon cooler/server along with cold lemonade. I make this for the community garden and to take to picnics. *** Never be afraid to make changes to your family's tastes....
