When life gives you lemons…

Actually, it was a friend at work who gave me the lemons. His neighbor had a tree full of them and was trying to unload some. I had never made homemade lemonade before, but I did work at Chic-fil-a. So after a little tinkering, I’m pleased with my result. Since I don’t have a juicer, I peeled and cut the lemons, removed the seeds and tossed them into the blender. After straining, I got a cup of juice out of 3 lemons – they were orange sized lemons, but still, I was impressed. I added a cup of sugar and 5 cups of water. The result was good but needed more kick, so I peeled a fourth lemon and blended it in. The result is sweet, tangy and just pulpy enough to know it’s homemade. Delicious :)
