I HOPE THIS HELPS. IT IS WITH REAL LEMONS OR WITH LEMON JUICE AND OF COURSE YOU USE SPLENDA IN PLACE OF REAL SUGAR. YOUR CHOICE.
JOY
Method 1
- Cut up lemons, and squeeze until juice is gone.Use about three or four for a nice sweet lemonade.
- Make sugar-water by boiling water with an equal amount of sugar. Don't allow it to cool before adding the lemons!
- Figure that for every four cups of water the juice from two whole lemon should be added. It should be nice and sweet,with no tartness from the lemon.
- Omit the sugar water, and just use plain water, if you want to make unsweetened lemonade.
- Add ice cubes, pour into a glass, and enjoy!
Method 2
- Gather 5 lemons,three cups sugar,and 1 3/4 quarts water and ice.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemons; reserve the peels.
- Remove the seeds and pour the juice into a 2 quart pitcher.
- Add the sugar and water. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Slice the peels from all 5 lemons and put them into the pitcher. Serve with ice.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for a nice, sweet lemonade.
Tips
- Some measurements:
- 1 cup of lemonade = 1/8 cup sugar water and 1/4 of a lemon.
- 2 cups of lemonade = 1/4 cup sugar water and 1/2 of a lemon.
- 2 quarts of lemonade = 1 cup sugar water and 2 lemons.
- 1 gallon of lemonade = 2 cups sugar water and 4 lemons.
- For less of a mess, you can buy lemon juice from most stores. It is usually in a plastic container. Two tablespoons equals the juice of one average lemon.
- If you have an ice tray, make some extra lemonade and freeze it as ice cubes. Put them in the lemonade when you drink it. When they melt, they won't leave the lemonade tasting extra watery.
- Some people recommend using brown sugar or honey instead of normal sugar.
- Another way to do it is add equal amounts of sugar and water to make a slightly sweeter flavour.
Caution!
- Make more sugar water than you'll need, as some of it will evaporate and you may not have enough.
- If it tastes too sweet, add more water. If it tastes too sour, add more sugar-water. If it tastes too watery, add more lemon. Don't over do it!
- Lemon juice will burn if squirted into the eye. Avoid unnecessary squeezing and thoroughly rinse eye if stinging occurs.
- Be careful, the water might be hot! So ask a adult to pour the sugar water.
- Don't use powdered lemonade unless necessary -- this is low-quality, and won't taste as good.
* Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger. The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.
I have reached my goal!

Good Morning...
yes that DaVinca {sp? ] is the right "stuff". and thats the flavor I most want to try I really lke carmel.
you and my daughter on about the same time table. Her last dr appt for her insurance is coming up very close to yours. Her nsurance has a stipulation that after she is approved she ,she hasnt been YET, her surgery has to be preformed within 30 days so I think after the weight lost program supervised by her pcp she will turn her papers in her dr has already oked her and so did the syc head doc so unless they have her do something like blood work, xrays , ekg or something like that she is ready for the paper work to he insurance company.
ok gotta run another memory appt at the VA for my hubby every Monday and Wednesday.. then to me pcp and then to the dentist and finally back home......to do laundry one of my puppy dogs threw up on my bed so they need washed and the bed sprayed w lysol and new sheets,,, I dont have anything to do today already did dishes
so you hvae a fun good day prayers willa
glad you had a good time at the party...

I have not tried them yet but just won some on ebay so I will let you know. It is Devinci sf caramel, should be ok.
My last pcp appt is on Aug 7. I had not thought about my next appt with Dr. Nease yet. Today I realized that I only have two more weeks on the Dr supervised diet. I am amazed at how quickly 6 months went by.
The bdy party was great. My husbands family is so fun to party with. (unlike mine) Lots of food and good company. And they drink but not the driver and never to excess. I had fun and did not drink anything. Still hoping to lose a little more.

I probably dont make a lot of sense to you young people but thats how old F--ts thinks remember IF IT IS WORTH HAVING IT IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR!!!!!! not yelling just stressing the the idea...
