Fresh Squeezed Lemonade

 Fresh Squeezed Lemonade is a god send in the summer. It is so refreshing that I could drink it everyday. Since the weather here in Utah has been about 98 degrees, our family has been drinking this a lot lately. It only takes a couple of minutes to make, but trust me.....your family will thank you. So here is how I do it.

12 lemons
1 3/4 - 2 cups sugar
10-12 mint leaves
2 cups ice cubes
Water
 The first thing I do is strain the lemons through a sieve. Add the fresh lemon juice to a gallon size pitcher. Add your sugar, water, mint leaves and ice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. If your lemonade is too sweet, add a little more ice water. The fresh mint leaves make this drink. 
Makes 1 gallon
