Homemade lemonade recipe: Put this over ice on a hot day

My husband absolutely loves lemonade. He’s constantly on the lookout for the best – and now he’s found it! This is a deliciously refreshing drink.

Michigan’s weather has turned sweltering – and we’re all doing what we can to keep cool. Lemonade is a perfect drink, as it’s good for you. Lemons are high in Vitamin C, and have lots of other trace vitamins and minerals. Since this recipe starts from fresh lemons, it’s a very healthy alternative to other beverages.
