Freshly cut lemons provide the best flavor.

This fresh lemonade is shaken to order, like the ones you find at summer carnivals and festivals. It's fast and easy to make these delicious and refreshing treats at home.

Things You'll Need

• Lemons
• 8-oz. cups
• Crushed or shaved ice
• Fork
• Sugar
• Water

Instructions

1. Cut a lemon in half; you will need one half lemon for each lemon shake-up you're making.

2. Fill one cup with 1/2 cup of crushed or shaved ice.

3. Squeeze the half lemon completely into the cup and use a fork to scrape the pulp as well. Remove any seeds, then place the lemon half inside the cup.

4. Add 1/2 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of sugar to the cup. You can adjust the sugar to taste.

5. Place a second cup on top of the one containing your lemonade. Shake back and forth, until all ingredients are mixed well. Serve the shake-up in the cup and garnish with a slice of lemon on the rim, if desired.
