\"\"<\/a>Lemonade was not something that I grew up drinking.\u00a0 In fact we never had it.\u00a0 Ever.\u00a0 The first time I had lemonade was at some point during my teenage years.\u00a0 My sister and her then boyfriend (now husband), owned a boat and we headed out on the water one day.\u00a0 She brought food and drinks to go with us and one thing she made was lemonade.<\/p>\n

It was the basic instant mix kind but one sip on a very hot Western PA summer day and I was hooked.\u00a0 It was amazing.<\/p>\n

Sweet and slightly tangy, to me it was perfection.<\/p>\n

After that point I started making lemonade on my own using the same instant mix.\u00a0 Then flavors started appearing and raspberry lemonade was about the best thing on earth at that point.<\/p>\n

Eventually I realized that instant lemonade is not good for you at all.\u00a0 Much like instant tea, it’s full of icky things we don’t need.\u00a0 I stopped making lemonade for years after that.\u00a0 A few times we’ve purchased lemonade at the store. The kind that’s located next to the OJ in the fridge section.\u00a0 It was alright but I thought to myself, “It can’t be that hard to make lemonade.\u00a0 It’s just lemons, water, and sugar.”<\/p>\n

And indeed it is just that simple.
