In the warmer months, as we spend time on the porch soaking in the sunshine and relishing the soft breeze, it’s nice to sip on something refreshing.
This simple Farmhouse Lemonade fits the bill!
The fresh juice of bright lemons, tempered with the sweetness of maple syrup, mixed with fresh spring water over crushed ice…now that’s sunshine in a glass (er, Mason jar).
Enjoy this with sparkling mineral water for a fizzy treat!

This looks delish! I love the idea of maple syrup as it will add a different flavor for sure! Now off to get some lemons and I’m all in. Thanks for sharing!
