Just like grandma used to make – my old-fashioned Homemade Lemonade! The perfect mix of sweet sugar and sour lemon, this is the ultimate cool refreshing drink for a hot summer’s afternoon! I think most parents end up looking for a real lemon lemonade recipe when their kids ask to set up a lemonade stall outside – I love it that kids still do that in my neighborhood every summer.
With this recipe, they would sell out for sure! I love making it anyway, it really reminds me of my childhood. Keep a lemonade pitcher in your refrigerator for when it’s hot, it will disappear in a flash I can promise you!
To make this version of Homemade Lemonade, you will need the following ingredients:
Place the lemons on a flat work surface and firmly roll them back and forth a couple of times (this helps release the juice inside the lemon).
Cut the lemons in half and juice them. You should end up with about 1 cup of juice.
Add the lemon juice, sugar and water to a large pitcher and stir to combine. You can add a little more water to dilute the lemonade if it’s too sweet or too sour.
Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for a while and serve with ice.
Fresh and zingy, you will love this Homemade Lemonade recipe! Take a snap of your lemonade pitcher and tag #cookmerecipes so we can share your summer moments!
Added a little bit more sugar to make it sweeter enjoyed it through and through.
Not as good as the freshly brewed iced tea with mint but it's alright, I'll bite again i guess.
Thanks for sharing this I was getting tired of buying the lemonade powedered containers every summer.
Too sour on my end I think I screwed up the measurements though so I'll be trying again soon.
My kids wanted to setup a lemonade stand so we made this, very happy with how it turned out and so were our customers :)
Didn't think It'd actually taste good when i saw it my mouth instantly thought of something ultra sour but this actually tasted soothing and smooth.
I had two glasses filled with this so had to double down everything it was delicious.
