Make your mornings a little less hectic with these overnight breakfast recipes. Prep the night before and enjoy a warm, comforting meal in the morning.

That regular lemonade stand down the street won't stand a chance. Fresh squeezed oranges and lemons make a tart treat. For grownups, gin and a touch of triple sec wouldn't go amiss.

4 cups water
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup extra fine white sugar (or to taste)
mint sprigs for garnish, optional
Combine the water, lemon juice, and orange juice in a 2-quart pitcher. Mix. Add the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill before serving. Serve in glasses over ice, garnished with mint, if desired.
