Sunday Randomness #201: Summertime, Summertime, Sum, Sum, Summertime!

One of our favorite drinks in the summer is lemonade and we have a new favorite recipe for lovely summertime lemonade thanks to a little book found in the JE section of the library.  Lulu's Lemonade  by Barbara deRubertis is a fantastic book to explain fractions in an easy to understand manner.  The lemonade recipe at the end of the book is marvelous!  I'm only showing a quart of the lemonade from a 2 gallon batch.  We've also made 3 gallon batches in the past-it's that good.

Recipe is 1/2 gallon lemonade, 1 qt orange juice, 1 pint lemon-lime soda, 1 cup lime juice, 1 TBSP vanilla and 1 tsp fresh mint leaves.  Mix and chill, then serve.
