I've been making fresh lemonade lately, and I've been loving switching it up with adding in mint sprigs, strawberries, and even pineapple!! Also, mixing half/half with sweet tea is wonderful, too (Called an Arnold Palmer). Do you add anything into your lemonade?

I wish I could say I had a recipe, but I just start by juicing the lemons, adding all the water, then adding splenda or sugar to my taste!!!

I have started to make my own lemonade and my 4 year old son loves to help! He loves lemon! The other day we were making it and I asked him what he wanted to add to it and he said "kisses". It totally made my day! Lemonade with love, the best taste ever!

I like to add a bit of soda water or tonic water - gives it bit of fizz.

My fav recipe for lemonade is 1 c lemon juice mixed with 3/4 c sugar until blended well, then add 4 c cold water. Strong, tart but slightly sweet, too. Even better if the water is really ginger tisane - a trick I learned years ago from a Japanese fast food place! Just boil a few slices of fresh ginger root in water for about 10 min to make the tisane. Yummo!!

I like to add berries, or rhubarb, or sweet tea, or mint, lemon verbena adds a nice touch sometimes too! One time I used some basil. It was actually pretty good but I was pregnant at the time, haha! Sometmes I like to add a little ginger, and of course can't forget to add some cucumbers! (peeled and sliced!) Yummy!

I should add, I have made lemonade with stevia, for a no sugar/calorie alternative, mixes so fast and easy!

My favorite is Ginger Lemonade. But I also like to add anti-oxidant herbal teas with lemonade.
