Lemon Obsession

I am a little obsessed with lemons. Someone asked Martha Stewart what she missed most when she was in jail and she said lemons. At least I know I'm with some classy company! So this summer I have taken to making fresh lemonade. I got into it after Man Mountain took me to dinner at Noah's in Stonington. That lemonade was freshly squeezed (and had a little Stoli added to it, mmm, mmm, mmm). But for regular sweltering days, I make this:

I even put it in Little Bitefuls' sippy cup with some ice (and without the Stoli...)

A little change - Both my friend Amy the Funeral Director and I think that the original recipe is a bit too sweet. I find that if you use 3/4 of a cup of simple syrup and 1 more large, squeezed lemon, you get the bright, lemony zest of a refreshing glass of lemonade - Enjoy!
