Lemonade is a very refreshing drink, Ideal for this time of year. It can be made easily at home and stored in the fridge for hours. We can also take it to the beach or the pool in a thermos to have a cold glass from time to time.
Water, sugar and lemon; those are the basic ingredients for a good lemonade.
