A glossy white cloth covered the table. On it was a beautiful sugar white cake and tall glasses… “Is your lemonade sweet enough?” Mrs. Olsen asked. So Laura knew that it was lemonade in the glasses. She had never tasted anything like it. (On the Banks of Plum Creek)

Hey sweetie! I just adore that you are cooking through little house! Lemonade is one of my favorites, but I absolutely flip over limeade because my granny used to make it for me, and now, i keep limes in whey, water and sugar and make continuous limeade whey soda! Thanks so much for sharing on the hearth and soul hop this week! All the best. Alex
The kiddos and I were just talking about how wonderful fresh squeezed citrus…anything…is! I’ve never sweetened lemonade w/ honey before, I’ll definitely try it next time. Sounds so refreshing! Thanks for sharing it w/ the hearth and soul hop this week 😀
