I love having a large pitcher of fresh lemonade in the fridge all summer long. It's fun to try different varieties by adding different fruits and edible flowers. One of my favorites is my classic lavender lemonade...for this recipe, I switched it up by adding fresh Rainier cherries and rose hips instead of lavender petals. It sure is tasty!
