Three lemons were on the grocery list. Funny thing is it was much less expensive to buy a whole bag of lemons. So, a bag of lemons is what came home with me.
The men in my house all like lemonade. They especially like fresh squeezed lemonade. So, I lit my lemon scented candle . . .
got out my vintage juicer & began squeezing.
I followed this simple recipe.
Before long those lemons looked like this.
And then they looked like this.
We've been setting records here with the oppressive heat and humidity. But the local meteorologists are promising a big change is in store for the rest of the week. I sure do hope they are right. Until then, you can find me sipping a cool glass of freshly squeezed lemonade (in the house with the A/C on).
Beautiful photos of the whole lemonade making process! It's only 72 here today, and could possibly get down into the 40s tonight. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good! I love fresh juice and lemonade makes my mouth water right now! ♥
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, that pitcher is just gorgeous!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never made homemade lemonade..maybe I should try one day. The pictures are just beautiful
I love that juicer you have! And I would love a glass of that fresh lemonade!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Kim...I so love anything lemon and on a hot day, this just hits that spot! The AC helps too! LOL I love your juicer, I have not seen one like that ever! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Kim. The heat and humidity has been 15 degrees above normal.
ReplyDeleteThe lemonade looks so delicious!
Love your little juicer!
Stay cool and in the A/C.
Lemonade sounds really good with all the heat we have been having!!
ReplyDeleteIt has been so hot here too and your lemonade looked so tempting. What a beautiful way to share lemonade. You made it look so appealing and so refreshing. Your plate with the lemons is one I would have chosen if I saw it. In my mind, you found the perfect recipe to beat the heat.
ReplyDeleteLove your lemon pictures and I know that lemonade is delicious!!! We are supposed to get some cooler temps mid-week. I can't wait. It has really been hot. Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, I could drink that right now! What a beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteI bought some lemons yesterday and am thinking of making lemonade today, too.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the juicer!
Now that looks like the best kind of lemonade! We're still waiting for the heat to arrive...but I think I will have a glass of lemonade while I wait.
ReplyDeleteYou take the nicest photos...I can almost reach out and sip from that glass and I swear I'm smelling lemons. Our weather, so miserably humid for days, has taken a much cooler and pleasant turn. Hope that yours has, too.
ReplyDeleteThat lemonade sounds so good. I haven't been able to have any for at least 20 years. Acid reflux. But I could almost taste it reading here.
