A couple weeks ago some friends of ours had us over for dinner. I knew that they were going to be BBQing so I kept that in mind while trying to figure out what to take for a hostess gift. I thought it would be a great idea to put together a gift for fresh homemade lemonade, including all the ingredients and a fun pitcher for the hostess!
Here’s what you need:
- A bag of Lemons
- A pitcher
- Wooden spoon
- Beautiful sunflowers, I bought mine from Trader Joe’s
- The BEST homemade lemonade recipe (below)
All I did was place the lemons in the pitcher, and then I tied ribbon around the spoon and the flowers to hold them in place. Next I found a piece of extra scrapbook paper and I wrote out a recipe for the best homemade lemonade. I punched a whole in it and then tied it to the pitcher along with the spoon and flowers. I think this project took me about 5 minutes and look how beautiful it turned out!
The best part was that my friend and I made the lemonade when we got to their house so I got to enjoy it too! It really was the BEST lemonade, perfect for an early fall BBQ.
Here is the recipe for the lemonade so you can enjoy some for yourself!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 3-4 cups cold water
Directions:
Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add lemon juice and sugar water to the pitcher. Then add 3-4 cups of cold water. Stir and serve over ice.
Enjoy!
