How To Make Freshly Squeezed Lemonade
Making your own homemade lemonade is so easy, I wonder why anyone would ever need to buy the bottled or powdered lemonade from the store. When you taste the difference, you’ll never be able to drink the lemonade from the mix!
Here’s the lemonade making process in 4 easy steps:
- Squeeze 6 lemons to make 1 cup of lemon juice.
- Make a sweetener syrup by boiling 1 1/4 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water, then let it cool.
- In a pitcher, mix 8 cups of cold filtered water, lemon juice and sweetener syrup.
- Slice 1 lemon and add the slices to the lemonade pitcher.
