Drink up




I love to get fresh lemonade at carnivals and street fairs. One of my favorite drinks is the Texas Twister. I have tried to recreate the Texas Twister, but with out the secret base I get no where.




Last year I was drinking a lot of lemonade, per doctor's orders, to help reduce kidney stones. I was using lemon juice concentrate, water and Equal. When I got pregnant with Collin the Equal started giving me extreme headaches. Weird I know. I switched from sugar alternatives to real sugar. Talk about sweet! To make it even better I started juicing lemons myself. Through all of this I discovered the best lemonade ever...




-Juice from 6 lemons (about 2 cups)


-2 cups sugar


-2 quarts of cold water




If you don't have a pitcher big enough to hold two quarts, the recipe is just as perfect cut in half. I am warning you, the kids won't stop drinking it.
