A Quick and Easy Homemade Lemonade Recipe That Anyone Can Make!
It’s summer and it is starting to get hot. If your family is like mine, you’ll need something ice-cold in the refrigerator to quench everyone’s thirst. This homemade lemonade hits the spot every single time.
Below you will find the ancient secret family recipe to make a gallon of delicious homemade lemonade. We’ve made it quick and easy by using bottled lemon juice instead of fresh squeezed. If you have the time and the desire to use fresh lemons, go ahead and substitute it out. You can use less cold water if you want a stronger lemonade. Tinker with it until it is exactly the way you like it. As written below, we think its perfect!
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 cups fresh lemon juice
- about 1 gallon of ice-cold water
- 1 lemon, sliced
Directions
Mix the sugar and the hot water in a large pitcher (big enough to hold over a gallon) , and stir until sugar dissolves. Add the lemon juice and cold water to make 1 gallon of lemonade. Stir it until everything is mixed well. Place the lemon slices on top of the mix and put in the refrigerator for two hours or pour lemonade over glasses of ice and drink immediately.
It tastes great just the way it is. However, it is easy to customize by adding pureed strawberries or raspberries or even another juice like cranberry or peach or whatever you like. We always have a gallon pitcher full in our house. Try it and let me know what you think.
This lemonade is great with our famous “On The Border” salsa copy cat recipe.
