When life gives you lemons...or a nice summer day...make
lemonade! Some tips for getting the most juice from your setup.
n Wash hands, tie back long hair and wear a clean
apron to protect clothing from spills.
n Have plenty of ice on hand in an insulated
cooler. Use a ladle or tongs-not kids' hands!-to serve ice. Use
plastic or paper cups and keep a covered garbage can nearby for
trash.
n Get attention! Decorate your stand with brightly
colored balloons, streamers and pinwheels.
n Have a sturdy box with a lid to hold your money.
You'll need a small bank to start so that you can make
change.
n Be polite and cheerful. Smile at your customers
and thank them for stopping by, even if they don't buy
anything.
n Here's a recipe to get you started:
6 lemons, juiced
1 cup sugar, or to taste
4 cups cold water
1 lemon, cut into slices
Ice cubes
In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice and
sugar; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the remaining ingredients
and mix well. For pink lemonade variation, add a few drops of red
food coloring or grenadine syrup. For honeyed lemonade variation,
substitute honey to taste for the sugar. For more recipes, go to

street with lots of foot traffic, try one of these ideas: church or
temple parking lots after worship services, Little League baseball
or soccer games, the local supermarket, outside your community
swimming pool or recreation center. Make sure to get permission
first.
