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!
Superb lemonade recipe!
Mmm, this lemonade brings back sweet memoires! Last summer, I set up a stand like we did when I was a kid. The kids loved it! It’s super easy to make, and my friends raved about it. Such a refreshing drink for those hot days!
So refreshing awesome
Delicious. Made this lemonade with my kids just like my grandma did. We had a blast squeezing lemons and tasting the mix. The look on their faces when they took the first sip was priceless. It reminded me how simple joys like this still bring everyone together.
This lemonade is classic. I made it for my friends during our summer BBQ, and they loved it! It took me back to my childhood when I would sell lemonade at the park. So refreshing and simple, it’s the perfect summer drink.
Delightful! Makes me feel like a kid again, enjoying hot summer days with a glass of lemonade at the lemonade stand. Perfect sweetness and a refreshing touch. Will definitely be making this all summer long!
Superb refreshingly delicious!
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.
This homemade lemonade is just like I remember from summer days with my grandma. It’s so simple to make and refreshing. My kids loved it at their lemonade stand. It’s a true summer delight.
I had two glasses filled with this so had to double down everything it was delicious.
