Tuesday's Tip: Custom Lemonade

New series! Check back each week for a (hopefully) helpful, useful and easy tip. One week it could be how to care for your oriental rug and another week it could be how to....

This week's tip is perfect for summer entertaining. 

Do you like your lemonade sweet or tart? Everyone likes their lemonade differently (tart for me!), right? Martha's smart idea - let everyone mix their own lemonade!

Lay out all the necessary ingredients, the freshly juiced lemonade, the sugar water, and let your guests make their lemonade as sweet or tart as they would like.

Martha's tips: 

- Provide separate containers of fresh lemonade juice, sugar syrup, and water
- Provide glasses, ice, and stirrers
- A good starting ratio is one part juice, two parts syrup, and three parts water
- Prepare the sugar syrup ahead of time

Another tip? Give your guests the option to mix in different kinds of fresh juices like fresh orange juice or grapefruit juice. Maybe even some freshly grated ginger?
