Lemonade with a Twist

Now, for proportions. People have very strong opinions about lemonade. Too tart? Too sweet? Just right? It’s all a matter of what tastes right to you.  So start with this general guideline, and make adjustments (add more lemon, more sugar, more water) as needed.

• 1 cup sugar, melted in 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon chopped herb leaves
• 1 cup fresh lemon juice
• 4 cups water

And yes you can use the same concept with frozen lemonade concentrate. Steep your herb leaves in one cup of water, then deduct that amount of water from the total called for when mixing. Easy-peasy.
