Here’s Beyoncé’s Grandmother’s “Sacred” Recipe for Lemonade
Beyoncé’s brand new visual album Lemonade may have had us focusing on the sacred sanctity of marriage (and the bat-carrying, everything-smashing consequences of cheating), as well as the sacred amazingness of B herself, but Queen Bey also wants us to enjoy the “sacred” lemonade recipe handed down to her by her beloved grandmother. Yes, there really is lemonade behind Lemonade, and you’re gonna love it!
Here’s how to make Beyoncé’s grandmother’s sacred lemonade:
INGREDIENTS
