Instructions:

Ranch House Lemonade

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
4 1/2 cups cold water
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice

Combine sugar and boiling water, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add cold water and lemon juice. Mix well. Chill and serve over ice. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired.

Makes 7 1/4 cups.

You can substitute lime juice for the lemon juice. This is the way "lemonade" is made in Mexico.
