It is a tradition in my family that during lunch time our meal should be accompanied with home made lemonade. Every day during lunchtime my family gets together to taste my unique home made lemonade.

If the water is turned on too quickly, the lemon juice will splash all over the place.
After the pitcher is filled within two inches of the top, turn the water off and get prepared to stir. With the wooden spoon submerged three-quarts of the way in the liquid, vigorously stir in a clockwise motion until all of the juice and the sugar dissolves.
