Fresh Homemade Lemonade

Ingredients

1 cup sugar

Wash lemons, cut off and discard the ends, then slice.

Place sugar in the bottom of a 2-quart pitcher.

Place the lemons in with the sugar, and mash the lemons until the juice is released. (I use the flat end of a wooden rolling pin to do this.)

Add ice, then water to the top of the pitcher.

Stir and serve immediately over more ice.

You may substitute 1 cup of Splenda® or other artificial sweetener for the sugar.

2 quarts
