Ruth's Homemade Lemonade

---

This recipe is truly wonderful - so refreshing. I first got it from Cranks restaurant in the 70's. I make it all the time here - we are never without a jug of it in the fridge. For those of us with lemon trees it's so cheap and so easy to make.

Thames Mud - or it's correct name, Cranks Home-made Lemonade.
