Freshly Squeezed Lemonade

As cool as it was this morning, it turned out to be a very warm day so I thought with our Chicken Tortilla Soup and chips and salsa........Fresh lemonade would taste really good! I was right.

6 lemons squeezed

1 1/2 cups sugar

Approx. 2 quarts of hot water

Stir until dissolved. Add a little cherry juice and a couple of cherries & enjoy!
