Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
I went on a search earlier this summer. I have had several kidney stones and was researching the best home remedies. Come to find out Lemonade is great. It’s been a staple in our fridge all summer long.
It’s so easy and just has 3 ingredients. It’s perfectly sweet and makes a great summer drink for BBQs and parties (or with Titos).
Let’s us know what you think!
LEMONADE INGREDIENTS:
6 to 8 - Lemons - Fresh lemons are essential to get that fresh-squeezed taste. Depending on your size of lemons, you will need about 6 to 8 lemons.
TIP: 6 to 8 medium size lemons will get you about 1 1/2 cups of lemon juice.
2 Cups - Granulated Sugar - White granulated sugar. This is how you will make your simple syrup.
5 Cups - Water - This really depends on how sweet you like your lemonade.
HOW TO MAKE LEMONADE
STEP 1: Make Simple Syrup - Add sugar and 2 cups of water to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and then cool to room temperature.
STEP 2: Juice Your Lemons - Well this is pretty self explanatory.
STEP 3: Combine Syrup and Lemon Juice - Add more water, taste, until you get the right sweetness.
STEP 4: Chill & Serve Cold
