Lemonade

4 lemons, juiced
1 cup sugar
1 qt cold water
Lemon slice (for garnish)
Jar of maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)

Combine lemonade into a pitcher and serve in chilled glass.

Garnish with lemon slice.

Note: a maraschino cherry (with stem) looks festive if used as a garnish. Place it on top of the ice. Pour in a little cherry juice for a festive decoration just prior to serving.
