100% would make again

My sister and I spent a week each summer with Aunt Frances, who always had this thirst-quenching lemonade in a stoneware crock in the refrigerator. It tastes so much like fresh citrus. It made such a refreshing drink after a hot day running around the farm. -Debbie Blackburn, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania

This lemonade was wonderful! Refreshing, not too tart or lemony. It was delicious and was a huge hit at a recent babyshower I hosted. I highly recommend this recipe!!
