Lemonade Recipe

For A gallon:

8-10 Medium fresh lemons or limes (Buy the thin skinned lemons they yield more juice.)
8-10 oz Maple Syrup (Dark A or Grade B is best) North Star carries dark A / B syrup in quarts & gallons.
Dash of Cayenne Pepper (Aids in helping you stay cool and is great for circulation.)
1 gallon Purified H20
Pour out approximately 12 oz-16 oz of the purified water to make room for the maple syrup and lemon juice (the lemons will yield about 8-10 oz of juice). Add about an equal amount of maple syrup to the lemon juice or to what tastes good. You may decrease the amount of maple syrup according to your taste. Add your dash of cayenne pepper, refrigerate and ENJOY! This lemonade can be served warm or cool and is great with meals or as a snack all year round. Refrigerated lemonade will last 2-3 days. Opened maple syrup should be refrigerated. Dark A or grade B Maple syrup will use less maple syrup to taste and yield a great taste. You can freeze any leftover lemonade into ice cubes and use in a thermos to help stay cool during the hot summer months. The sip quart cups Rubbermaid makes are great for travel with water or lemonade. Buy 6. You can purchase an electric citrus juicer from one of the discount stores, like Walmart for approx. $15 which makes juicing lemons easy especially when making by the gallon.
For a single serving:
10 oz Purified H20
Juice from ½ fresh lemon or lime
1-2 Tb Maple Syrup (to taste)
Partial dash of Cayenne pepper (to taste)
Add together, pour over ice or serve warm.
