Four String Blocks

 

I have several excellent lemonade recipes, but they all make enough for a crowd. Sometimes you just want a single glass of lemonade that won’t leave you with a mostly-full pitcher in the fridge. It’s a little work, but SO worth it:

 

Lemonade for One

 

2 tablespoons sugar (If you use a substitute, don’t tell anyone you got the recipe from me.)

1/4 cup hot water

3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice (About 1 1/2 lemons)

3/4 cup ice cold water

Crushed ice

Thin lemon slices (These are optional, but you can use up the last half lemon.)

 

In a 1-pint measuring pitcher, stir together sugar and hot water until it dissolves. Stir in lemon juice and cold water. Fill a large glass with ice and lemon slices. Add lemonade and enjoy!
