Ingredients
- 5 pounds lemons
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Cut lemons in half. Juice each lemon through a strainer into a large measuring cup. Keep juicing until you have 2 cups of lemon juice.
- Pour water into a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in sugar. Continue cooking over heat until sugar is dissolved and liquid looks clear again.
- Combine sugar solution with lemon juice to create a lemonade concentrate.
- When ready to serve, add water to the lemonade concentrate to taste. For a stronger lemonade, add less water. For a less sweet, more sour lemonade, adjust the ratio of simple syrup to lemon juice by adding more lemon juice or less simple syrup.
Notes
- Freezer Instructions: The lemonade concentrate can be frozen for later use. Just pour it into a gallon-sized ziploc bag and lay flat in the freezer. When ready to serve, thaw, and add water to taste.
- Honey-based Lemonade: replace the sugar in this recipe with 2 cups of honey.
- Sugar-free Lemonade: replace the sugar in this recipe with 1/4 cup stevia powder.
- Flavored Lemonade: You can use this same recipe to make a variety of flavors. Want Strawberry Lemonade? Add in a pound of hulled strawberries to your prepared lemonade and blend it in a blender. Raspberry lemonade? Do the same thing! It's easy to mix and match various fruits and flavor combinations to quench your thirst with this old-fashioned treat.
