I have always struggled to make fresh lemonade. After spending all the time squeezing the lemons I was always disappointed with how it came out. THIS RECIPE IS PERFECT!! I made it exactly according to the recipe, and it came great. My new "go to" summer drink. Add a shot of sweet tea flavored vodka and you'll be in heaven!

My first homemade lemonade, quite good. I used Meyer lemons, squeezed them and all that. I did nix the sugar and went with Splenda instead, I used the same amount, since the bag showed a 1:1 ratio.
