summer stuff

it has been gloriously HOT here on the hill for the last few days.

there is something i love to make on a sweltering summer afternoon...


1 cup fresh lemon juice + simple syrup + 4 cups cold water

i find that every batch is different depending on the lemons, so i always taste and adjust by adding any of the above until i love it.

it is delicious just like this, but if you're feeling adventurous you can add fun things like strawberries, mint, ginger, or cucumber.

serve with lots of ice and a lemon wheel garnish.

so refreshing!
