With summer around the corner, it’s a good time to have a tried and true lemonade recipe on hand. My son was home sick from school yesterday and requested Grammy’s famous lemonade. When I was little and not feeling well, my mom would make a bed on the sofa and make this lemonade.
Truth be told, this recipe is nothing out of the ordinary but it’s a tradition we are happy to carry forward. And it’s so yummy!

I thought I had already posted this recipe so I was searching my own blog and stumbled upon this post. This was the children’s fist lemonade stand and I can’t get over how little they were. This sad face was after their first taste of rejection. Luckily business picked right up and they had a great day. Grammy and Papa even drove over to buy a glass. Sweet memories.
Dear sweet Grady should never be sick. He is way too kind for that.
Our mom made fresh lemonade in the summer and she added one orange – made it naturally sweet, but of course she added additional sugar as well!
I love lemonade and this looks like the perfect recipe! I will definitely be saving so I can pull it up next time I make some. Thanks for sharing, hope you are having a lovely day.
