Beat the heat with homemade lemonade
The sunny tartness of lemonade is a summer time favorite, plus it's fun and easy to make. Some lemons, some sugar, ice, a glass and you're in business. The non-carbonated kind we drink here is a particularly American version, and it's a part of many family traditions, sipped on the porch after supper and sold from countless lemonade stands in suburban driveways.
Part of the fun of lemonade is it's versatility. You can add other fruits, like ripe raspberries, for a juicy hybrid surprise, or a garnish of mint to make it a garden party. And for those over twenty-one out there, well you probably already know how well vodka fortifies a tall glass of citrus goodness. Ginger, pink and strawberry lemonade are all someone's favorite.
There are some quick and easy ways to dress up your lemonade and make every pitcher a party. Check out our tips in the gallery.

When does one sit down for supper? And sadly I think most busy Americans are dumping a packet of Countrytime into a big Tuperware these days and calling it a day.
