After helping cut the lemons, you may want to turn this recipe over to the kids -- they tend to be the lemonade experts.

Ingredients

• 6 large lemons
• 1 cup sugar

• 2 qt. cold water

Instructions

1. Slice the lemons in half and squeeze each of them into a large measuring cup. This should yield about 1 1/2 cups of juice. Remove any seeds.

2. In a large pitcher or mason jar, combine the juice and the sugar. Stir in 2 quarts of cold water. Serve over ice. (For a nice touch, place mint leaves in the ice cube trays before freezing.) Serves 8 to 10.
