We've only had a couple warm days so far, but on those days, I feel like making vanilla lemonade. I make it in a very hodgepodge way - squeeze out a bunch of lemons, funnel into a carafe, add water, vanilla, add a cup or so of simple syrup to taste.
These carafes have been a great friend in making lemonade...it's great for shaking the heck out of the lemonade and then storing away!
The vanilla is from Amy at Christmas, and I'm almost out!
It's sooo good, and now I really want to make my own from the same recipe.
Just have to wait six months...boo!
Added bonuses: the makings of lemonade are so nice to look at, and the kitchen smells so nice afterwards!
