What’s worked for me already this summer? Making my own lemonade!! It doesn’t take much to get me excited. This electric Aroma Juicer from Target was such a great purchase. It’s great, it’s awesome. I love it. I can pretend to be domestic without the effort. When I’m done I just throw the parts in the dishwasher and the whole appliance fits in my smaller cabinets over the stove.
It can be yours for the low, low price of $19.99.
But wait there’s more!
It’s so easy and fun for kids to help with. And it makes very little mess.
Now, that works for me! Check out other tips at Rocks In My Dryer

Sweet and Puckery Lemonade Just The Way We Like It
4 large lemons (I buy the Costco bag of lemons b/c it’s cheap – 5 lbs for around $6)
Just cut them in half and push down on the juicer and the juice collects in this nice little pitcher. There’s not much left of that poor lemon and the pulp and seeds stay far, far away. Then, after I’ve poured the juice in my big pitcher for the lemonade, I take a paper towel and wipe the seeds and pulp, toss them in the trash, then throw all the other parts right into the dishwasher.
Add 3/4 cup sugar and stir
Then add 3 quarts of water and stir
sounds great!
Pop the lemons in the microwave for a few seconds, you’ll get more juice for your buck!
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the recommendation! My kids have been begging me this week to teach them how to make lemonade.
Love the demo photo of son making the ade!
I’ve been looking for a good recipe that doesn’t involve cooking the water. Thanks!
How Fun! My kids would LOVE this!
Mmmm – I love homemade lemonade too. If I weren’t going 52 billion places today, I’d make some right NOW!
And I wouldn’t even have to share it, ’cause the fam doesn’t like it – ha!
I never realized it only takes a few lemons to make that much lemonade. I’ll have to try it, but I need to get me one of those juicing contraptions. Otherwise, I think it will take more lemons! I love to make things from scratch when I can!
Oh yeah, I couldn’t squeeze that much juice by hand. Unless I was really angry at the time, of course
