Fresh Squeezed Orangeade and Lemonade

Nothing says summertime more than a freshly squeezed glass of lemonade or orangeade. There is something so refreshing and so visually appealing about these drinks. They are quick and easy to make with just several ingredients.

Lemonade- the juice of four lemons, four tablespoons full of sugar (dilute the sugar in some hot water for easy mixing) and sixty-four ounces of water.

In a pitcher add all the ingredients, stir well. Add lemon slices and mint. Refrigerate for an hour. Serve in a glass with ice and garnish with mint.
Orangeade – the juice of four oranges, four tablespoons full of sugar, (dilute the sugar in some hot water for easy mixing) and sixty-four ounces of water.

In a pitcher add all the ingredients, stir well. Add orange slices and mint. Refrigerate for an hour. Serve in a glass with ice and garnish with mint.

These are two very versatile drinks that can be enjoyed anytime.

Enjoy,
Vivian
