It’s hot out there today! Thankfully, we can all taste a little bit of respite in August 20, 2015, which marks Lemonade Day! The unofficial holiday proves that this tart yet sweet beverage is no longer reserved for pampered Southern ladies sighing and fanning themselves on wrap-around porches. So pour yourself a tall, cold glass and hunker down in the shade for the love of lemonade…
Let’s begin with a classic lemonade recipe you find at your grandmother’s house. Refreshing and sweet, with a little bit of sour.
