i was wandering through the grocery store looking for lemonade the other day. they had like 8 different kinds, but I wasn't familiar with any of the brands. i was curious...how hard could it be to make my own? i whipped out my phone and pulled up allrecipes (favorite iphone app) to find a recipe. surprise, surprise i could buy a bag of lemons for a fraction of the cost of a premade preservative filled carton! yay!
what you'll need:
1 3/4 cups white sugar
8 cups water
1 1/2 cups lemon juice (about 7 lemons)
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups water.
Enjoy!
*i used what remained after i filled my pitcher to make popsicles! now i'm impatiently waiting on them to chill...
