Italian Lemonade image

This comes from Giada De Laurentis, who is probably one of my favorite celebrity chefs. This is just perfect for our hot Texas summers. Divide the pitcher into 2, 1 for the kiddos and 1 for the adults. Add a little Vodka to the adult one for a cool refreshing adult beverage.
