Lemons, sugar and water. A very simple lemonade recipe, and yet so refreshing.
INGREDIENTS:
6 lemons
6 cups cold water
1 cup sugar
PREPARATION:
Juice your lemons, and you should get about 1 cup of juice. In a large pitcher, mix juice, water and sugar. Stir lemonade well and serve over ice.
lemon juice, sugar and water together. add more lemon if not source enough or sugar if not sweet enough or water if just not enough to drink :)
Lemonade
2 quarts
1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
7 cups ice cold water
1 cup granulated sugar
2 lemons
Combine the first three ingredients and stir until sugar is dissolved, add ice and lemon slices then serve.
Cut six lemons in half. Using a juicer, juice the halves. Remove the seeds but save the pulp to add extra flavor. In a pitcher, mix two quarts of water with juice. Sweeten to taste. Add pulp if you desire a stronger lemon taste.
the key to good lemonade is the sugar. make simple syrup, equal parts water and sugar, heat it up until all the sugar dissolves, remove it from the heat and let it cool down for awhile. Squeeze a dozen lemons or so into a big pitcher. Add water to fill it almost to the top. Add syrup tasting the lemonade until it's sweet enough for you. Proably like 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of water into syrup will be enough, but lemonade is all about personal preference.
Don't just mix granulated sugar into cold water as it will not dissolve right and i think it doesnt taste as good, even though chemically syrup and granulated sugar are exactly the same
4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups sugar
3 1/2 cups water
Lemon peel strips, for garnish (optional)
1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups lemon juice and the sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, and let syrup cool.
2. In a pitcher, stir together lemon syrup, remaining 2 cups lemon juice, and 3 1/2 cups water. To serve, pour over ice, and garnish with lemon peel, if desired.
INGREDIENTS
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans frozen lemonade concentrate
1 lemon, sliced
1 lime, sliced
1 grapefruit, sliced
1 orange, sliced
DIRECTIONS
Into a gallon pitcher, empty both cans of lemonade concentrate. Place the sliced lemon, lime, grapefruit and orange in the pitcher. Stir in water until pitcher is full. Chill in refrigerator.
I like to make real lime ade, too. Get lemons and/ or limes. Roll them between your hand and a cutting board first: it will help the juice "release."
Slice them in 1/2 and either use a hand "juicer" (like a dowel rod with a pointy end with ridges), a "bowl juicer" the old fashioned kind that holds the juice from several lemons as you smoosh them on the pointy thing with ridges that's in the middle), or just squeeze them with your hands.
Add sugar or honey to taste after using about 2 cups of water for each fully-juiced lemon or lime. From there, it's really "to taste." Enjoy!
Using 6-8 real lemons, wash them and squeeze as much juice out that you can (keep the remaining pieces). Add 1 cup of sugar to the juice and fill the pitcher up with water stirring well. Add the remaining pieces of lemon for added flavor (option). Makes 2 qts. :)
6 lemons (juice of 6 lemons)
1 cup sugar, or to taste
4 cups cold water
1 lemon, cut crosswise into very thin slices
Preparation -
Mix the lemon juice and sugar together in a large pitcher. Stir to dissolve all the sugar, then add the water. Serve over ice. Place a lemon slice on top of each glass before serving.

There are only 3 ingredients to great lemonaid, but there is one very important step. That step is making a simple syrup (equal amounts sugar and water brought to a light boil until the sugar disolves). This will assure that the lemonaid will be sweet (with no sugar on the bottom of your lemonaid container).
Assuming you use the 1cup water to 1cup sugar syrup recipe, Add 1 cup of lemon juice, to the syrup, and about 4 more cups of water and chill. Try not to add too much ice, or it will dilute the recipe. If you need lots of ice, add less water to compensate.
five lemons squeezed seeds removed. 1 gallon of water mixed with lemon juice 1 cup of sugar. stir well serve in glass with ice
Lemonade with Lemonade Ice Cubes
Recipe courtesy Gale Gand
2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1 gallon cold water, or to taste
Fresh mint leaves
1 orange, segmented
In a large pitcher, whisk the lemon juice and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add the water to taste. Fill 2 ice-cube trays with the lemonade and place a mint leaf and a piece of cut up orange segment in each compartment. Reserve the rest in the refrigerator. When frozen, turn them into a frozen bowl or an ice sculpture and place on a buffet with the pitcher of lemonade beside them to serve over the ice cubes.
Notes about the recipe: I love making ice cubes with surprises inside that add more flavor to a drink once they melt. And why have a melting ice cubes dilute a drink? Make it from something flavorful and it will add rather than take away from the taste. At Tru I make pineapple water ice cubes with candied lemon rind imbedded and serve them with plum or rhubarb lemonade.
you will need about 10 lemons to make 2 glasses ( if each glass is going to be about 20 fl oz)
I like to peel the lemons and use a metal sieve. Squish those bad boys out and you should have about 10 fl oz of pure lemon juice. Now add 30 fl oz of water & use real sugar to sweeten to your taste.
This one never fails!
One lemon serves one person.
Squeeze the juice and pour it in a glass where you have already placed some ice and sugar (2 teaspoons should work...).
Stir until the sugar melts. Add 1/4 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate (it will make your lemonade a bit sparkling). Now pour water slowly. Stir again, and drink.
Sooooo refreshing!
almost equal parts water, lemon and sugar, slightly less lemon, stir.
The recipe used at a local pretzel shop is really good. It's 2 cups fresh lemon juice, 3 1/2 cups sugar and 2 gallons water. Obviously it makes a lot of lemonade, but it's tasty stuff!
Use real lemons!
