So when life (the store) gives you (let's you purchase) lemons, go ahead and make lemonade.
BUT I HAVE BEEN MAKING IT ALL WRONG!?!
Because I am addicted to looking up how to make everything, even if I already know how to make it, I found out two days ago that I make lemonade wrong!
Do YOU combine the water and sugar and heat it up into a simple syrup before adding it to the lemon juice?
I never did. Am I the only stupid person who doesn't know to dissolve the sugar into the heated water? Sheesh. Sometimes I'm surprised I don't accidentally burn my house down.
Anyway, that's probably why my lemonade always stinks, and I end up buying Country Time instead.
No more.
Ladies, make your lemonade the right way. I tested it, using the organic lemons from Trader Joe's. I don't usually buy organic lemons, I did it by accident. I'm pretty sure that if your lemons aren't organic, the simple syrup you make will reduce impurities by killing it with it's sugary kindness.
Thinking back to the day Sid held her lemonade stand to raise money for snow leopards (yes, she really did, and raised $13 thankyouverymuch) I really think we could have doubled it with THIS lemonade...it's that good.
Back to Sid and her raising money for charity - she is currently selling things at her desk at school for charity. What charities you ask? First, cancer. Second, snow leopards. Third, the fund to help her grandparents feed their horses (because she heard they want to sell them and thinks a little money for hay will change their mind!).
Oh lemons.

Thank you for the tip. I too look everything up (even if I think I know how to make it). I didn't know about the heating the sugar and water together though. Your Sid sounds like a doll. What a sweetie to think of so many others.
