Slushy Lemonade

Winter is in full swing around here. Snow, cold weather, chilling wind, grey skies...

But drinking this makes me feel like I am on a warm tropical island somewhere (ok, not really)

This is a sweet and refreshing homemade lemonade, something that would probably be more practical in the summer.
3 medium sized lemons
water
sugar
ice

Use the entire lemon. Just cut it into pieces and put it in your blender with about a cup of water. Blend it for a few minutes on high speed. It needs to be blended really well.

Strain, (I use a mesh strainer) reserving all liquid. Discard the pulp.

Add the liquid back to the blender, put in about a cup of sugar (more or less to taste), pour in about another cup of water then fill the blender to the top with ice.

Blend well and serve.

Makes about 4 servings.
