Refreshing Lemonade

We love to hang out on our deck and drink home-made lemonade. Before Doodle was diagnosed as being mildly autistic, I used to buy the frozen concentrate at the store and soak strawberries in the concentrate before adding water. Now, I try to avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup, so we make our own lemonade and find it is much tastier than anything we can buy at the store. Summer is slipping away, so why not make a glass and enjoy while the you still can. I am.

Recipe:

1 large lemon
2 limes
2 cans Pineapple juice
1/2 cup sugar (or more, depending on taste)
1/2 cup Agave Nectar
Water

1. In a large pitcher, squeeze juice from lemon and limes.
2. Add sugar. (If you are adding sliced strawberries, do it now and let soak.)
3. Add Pineapple juice and Agave Nectar.
4. Fill remainder of pitcher with water.
5. Pour into glass over ice and relax!
