Lemonade Recipe

Old-Fashioned Lemonade
Refreshing, Healthy, Delicious!


This old fashioned Lemonade Recipe is what I use when the days are warm and the work is underway. This is a great, thirst quenching, pick-me-up and is not too sweet.

homemade lemonade






It seems to me Americans used to drink much more lemonade at home than they do today. I suppose the reason is that there are so many other prepared beverages available at the grocery store.


After trying many of them, my family and I returned to making our own lemonade. My family really appreciates having homemade lemonade, especially during the summer months.

Thirst-Quenching, Delicious, Homemade Lemonade
A Real Restaurant Recipe
Preparation time: 15 minutes. Makes 15 eight ounce servings.

Measurement Conversion Table

Ingredients:

  • Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed from 6 large lemons (1-1/2 cups, organic lemons if you can find them)
  • 1 cup of sugar, granulated - more or less to taste
  • 6 cups cold water
  • 1 large lemon, cut into small, thin slices
  • Freshly made Ice cubes (old ice picks up freezer odors ...dump them and start over)

    Instructions:
    Note: The sugar and water does not have to be boiled but the quality of the lemonade is improved if you boil them in a pan for 2 minutes, chill and then add the lemon juice. Otherwise,

  • In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar and cold water
  • Stir briskly to dissolve the sugar completely
  • Add the ice and thin sliced lemon pieces and stir briskly again
  • Pour into tall glasses (if needed, add a few ice cubes to the glass)


    Bonus!

    Honey Flavored Lemonade
    Just substitute honey for the granulated sugar. Adjust more or less to taste.

    Pink Lemonade
    Add a few drops of grenadine

    Enjoy your lemonade recipe and the company of those you share it with!
