Summer Lemonade




I wanted to do a little thank you gift for our awesome neighbors who are always doing so much for us. We know we could call on them at anytime for anything. I just wanted to do something a little summery since the Talbot's love the sun. I bought this great one gallon container at Wal-mart for $2.50 and it included the 6 cups! I then included this great simple, yet yummy lemonade recipe along with the ingredients to make the lemonade. I bought the citric acid at a gourmet kitchen shop here called Gigi's. It's about $3 for a pound. This little jar took about a third of a pound to fill. I also included Lemonade Mint lip balm for my friend as a seprate Thank you for a recent gift she gave me.


Here's another version of the same gift with mugs instead. I bough the mugs at IKEA and I can't remember how much they were, but they were super inexpensive.

Lemonade Recipe:

One Gallon water
2 Tbls. Lemon Extract
1 heaping Tbls. Citric Acid
2 cups Sugar
