Old-Fashioned Lemonade

SUBMITTED BY: EJRIPPY  PHOTO BY: Tricia Jaeger 

"Ah, the taste of summer. This classic lemonade recipe is the one my mom used to make for me when I was little. It's the perfect combination of sweet and tart! When using a clear pitcher, adding a few of the juiced lemon halves makes it look prettier."
