The best summer lemonade

Scott’s Mom makes the best lemonade – and now Scott does too!

Abby and I made a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up ingredients. . . because I realized we had gone all summer without making it at all!!!

All you need is:

6 oranges

4 lemons

1 can frozen pink lemonade concentrate

Maraschino cherries and juice

Directions:

Juice the oranges and lemons, saving 1 orange and lemon for slices.
