"Fresh Squeezed" Lemonade or Limeade Recipe

Recently I was tempted to purchase a cup of cold fresh-squeezed Lemonade.  I ended up quenching my thirst with some free water, after I noticed the price for the drink I first desired.  $5!  I can make a gallon of lemonade for that price.  Skip the hassle of squeezing fruit and save a lot of cash by using this recipe:

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup Lemon Juice or Lime Juice(available in the juice idle at your local store)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • enough water to fill a 2 quart container
Mix all ingredients in 2 quart pitcher.  Refrigerate and serve over ice.

Note:  If you're serving a crowd, use a 1 gallon container.  Add 2 cups sugar, 1 cup lemon juice and 1 package of Kool-Aid unsweetened Lemonade for virtually the same taste and an additional savings.
