MARTHA'S EXTRA-LEMONY LEMONADE



Martha's Extra-Lemony Lemonade image

"A cold glass of lemonade is so refreshing on a hot summer day. My favorite recipes are full of lemon flavor. This one uses the fruit in three ways: its juice, fresh slices, and a syrup cooked with the rinds," says Martha.

LAVENDER LEMONADE INFUSION



Lavender Lemonade Infusion image

Butterfly pea flower tea is the secret ingredient that naturally dyes this lemonade purple (lavender itself does not impart much color), but if you don't have it, simply replace the tea with 2 cups of cold water. The tea has no flavor so the lemonade will be delicious either way!
