Lemonade is one of the most popular summer recipes for many reasons. It’s quick and easy with minimal ingredients, and it can be enjoyed immediately. Lemonade is also a great option for cooking with larger groups of children, as it requires many lemons, giving every child an opportunity to try squeezing out the lemon juice. As an added bonus, fresh squeezed lemons have a beautiful, fresh fragrance that will make your classroom or center smell wonderful! Click here for a recipe from The New Children’s Museum.
