RON WRIGHT’S
FRESH SQUEEZED LEMONADE

Ingredients
4 cups water
1 ½ cup sugar
3 lemon peel strips
1 tablespoon grape juice

1 cup lemon juice - about 5 lemons

OPTIONAL:
lemon slice, sprig of mint or a maraschino cherry

Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water, sugar and lemon peel to a boil. Reduce heat
then cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard lemon peel. In a
large pitcher, combine the remaining water, lemon juice, grape juice and sugar

mixture. Serve over ice. Garnish to taste. It will make 6 servings.

Ron used to make this lemonade for me. My doctor told me that fresh lemonade would
help me with my kidney stones. So Ron started to make it for me using my Nana’s
lemon squeezer. That was hard work, so we bought the electric juicer, which made
Ron’s production of lemonade easier.
