Homemade Lemonade
Freezer:
3 cups of ice
Counter:
10 lemons, juiced- about 1 3/4 cup
10 cups of cold water plus 2 extra cups for simple syrup
Pantry:
1 3/4 cup of white sugar
Tools:
Gallon sized pitcher
Small pot
Wooden mixing spoon
In the pot add 2 cups of water and all the sugar. Bring to a boil and allow the sugar to dissolve. Once dissolved, turn off.
Add the 3 cups of ice to the pitcher and pour the warm simple syrup into the pitcher. Mix until the ice melts.
Pour the juice of the 10 lemons, about 1 3/4 cups of juice, into the pitcher. Add the extra 9 cups of cooled water. You should end up with almost a gallon of lemonade.
You can always adjust the sugar and lemon juice to your desired sweet/tartness. This amount was perfect for us served over ice. And we almost completely sold out (well and the kids drank a lot) at the stand so I guess this recipe speaks for itself.
The kids at their awesome lemonade stand this week!
