Just in time for the hot days of summer, we received this homemade lemonade recipe from Koala Crate!

To start, have your child squeeze one lemon half into a cup.

Add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and let your little sous-chef stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Now it’s time to add fresh mint – and fresh is the key word here! If you have your own herb garden, so much the better. Our next best option was a mint plant from the grocery store; Travis loved selecting three leaves before adding them to his cup and muddling.

Adults: Fill the cup the rest of the way with water (about 5 ounces) and stir.

Add a straw and enjoy summer in a glass!
