Fabulous Lainey!! Loved how simple it was to hold the sugar syrup to make up lemonade as needed. I made the syrup 2 days before I needed the lemonade and it worked great! Thanks for a keeper - I'll be keeping this syrup on hand from now on and making lemonade from this recipe! Made for Newest Zaar Tag. Goes great with your "Fruity Ice Cubes" too.

Yet another way to mix up a great lemonade! Simple AND tasty! The recipe is definitely a keeper ~ You might just have converted me from my usual method of making lemonade, & a definite thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed as part of my NON-ALCOHOLIC theme in My-3-Chefs cooking event]
