I've been making glasses of nice hopped lemonade while harvesting, drying, and bagging hops. It's also a great way to test the potency of homegrown hops.
I just throw a few (3-4 medium) cones into a half pint jar, add boiling water, and let steep for a minute. Then I taste (to test the hops), squeeze in a lemon or lime, stir in a few spoonsful of sugar, and pour over a glass of ice.
The bitterness and hops flavor really add a lot to a glass of lemonade!
