Hey Y'all,
Hope everyone got
to enjoy the gorgeous weekend. What is
up with these cool temps though? A
little caught off guard when I headed into church yesterday. But it is May and
I know the hot summer days will quickly be upon us so I will enjoy the dip.
Last summer, the men in our families were all
working so hard to finish building Brittney and Andrew’s home before the
wedding. (And it was oh so hot most days.) Every member of our families helped in one way or another. Since my carpentry skills are
extremely limited, I tried to make sure my hospitality skills were much better.
I knew I needed some cool and tasty
options to keep them hydrated. We kept the coolers stocked with water and Gatorade and of course all sorts of soft drinks.
I don’t
know about your family, but mine loves lemonade on a hot day. We started bringing homemade lemonade to the
guys and it really was appreciated. They enjoyed the cool tart flavor and I
appreciated how easy and inexpensive it was to make. There are lots of lemonade recipes but I never have much luck dissolving sugar in cold water. Do you? So I kept looking…
The Pioneer Woman has the best one I have found. She makes a simple syrup and then adds the lemon juice. Doesn't simple syrup sound so fancy? It is really sugar dissolved in warm water and refrigerated until cool. Now you can whip up some simple syrup anytime you need to ~ You aren't afraid of fancy. Homemade lemonade will look as good as it tastes in a lovely dispenser. I didn't have that option at the "land" but my trusty cooler worked well and was durable.

This recipe is so tasty and refreshing~ perfect for a hot summer day. I can't wait to make up a pitcher soon. You can cut the
recipe in half if you think it is too much, but then you will just have to make
more. I promise everyone will love
it. What is your favorite summertime drink? Would love to have you share your recipe too!
