Old-Fashioned, Refreshing Pink Lemonade Recipe for your Summer Events

This summer, indulge a little with this sweet, fulfilling, old-fashioned lemonade recipe. Boiling the sugar and water reduces the "graininess" of the sugar, creating a smooth, refreshing drink. If you are watching your sugar intake, you can use two teaspoons of Stevia powdered extract instead.

You will need:

• 10 cups cold filtered water
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 2 cups fresh lemon juice, chilled
• 1 cup cranberry juice, chilled
• 1 lemon, sliced

Directions:

1. On a stove, boil two cups of water. Add sugar until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow solution to reach room temperature.
2. Pour sugar/water mixture into a large pitcher. Top it off with the additional eight cups of cold water.
3. Pour in fresh lemon juice and cranberry juice.
4. Add in lemon slices. Serve cold with ice, if desired.

Experiment with different all-natural sweeteners like honey, or even coconut sugar for a more tropical blend.

Enjoy your summer!
