Support your child's inner entrepreneur this summer by helping their lemonade stand really stick out from the competition! How about infusing plain ol' lemonade with ginger or lemongrass or lavendar? Start with our simple base lemonade reci-pea and offer one or a few flavor additions for passer-byers to customize their lemonade!
