State Fair Lemonade ~ Best Lemonade Recipe Ever!

[@elbruces]

When you were struggling with the peeler, I actually thought you were setting up a sponsorship bit where you sell us a new peeler. But nope, you were just struggling. I respect that.

[@ICookAndPaint]

No sponsorship, just a bad peeler :)

I have been making this for a number of years. Absolutely the best! Way to give credit to chef John!

Oh my STARS! What a BEAUTIFUL painting of Lemons! Gorgeous! I just happen to have a bag of Lemons. I believe I’ll try this recipe soon. Thank you. Also, I love how you make cooking sound stress free!

[@ICookAndPaint]

Thanks so much for the kind words. You will love this recipe! :)

Interesting video about State Fair Lemonade. Usually at the Fair's around me they make their Lemonade by having Sugar water and add fresh lemons and shake it in order to make the Lemonade. Never heard of this way to make it, so will have to give it a try. Always enjoy how encouraging and thoughtful you are to your viewers.

[@barbra429]

That sounds interesting, so does just adding sliced lemons give it enough lemon flavor?

[@ICookAndPaint]

Thanks so much! I have seen recipes like you described here on KZbin :)

[@benburns5995]

@@barbra429 They usually use a 1/2 of lemon. They pure the sugar water in a large cup and squeeze some of the lemon juice and then put another cup on top of the other and shake with the lemon inside. It does taste nice and refreshing.

First like. Thanks soooooooo much for sharing this recipe with us. I love to make lemonade for my family in the summer definitely will be making this one in the summer again. Love Chef John's recipes

[@ICookAndPaint]

My pleasure 😊 This really is the best, yes Chef John rocks!

Great recipe. I love when all parts of the citrus fruit are used, not just the juice. That peel has TONS of flavour thanks to its natural essential oils and gives a special aroma kick to the drink. Other than that it is also full of vitamins. And yes, as you mentioned, the white part should come off as much as possible as it gives bitterness that is too penetrating and not enjoyable. I have a mojito lemonade recipe on my channel that uses those same principles to get a power flavour out of those limes. Great work! Let's refresh the world one lemonade at a time 😀

[@AS-dp6vy]

Im inspired to make this! Looks easy and fun.

[@ICookAndPaint]

Thank you, enjoy :)

[@yvonnemariane2265]

I'm always amazed at how fragrant lemon rind is -- should never throw it away! Even dried and sitting in the freezer ages later still super fragrant. Anyway, time to go check my rinds-in-sugar and squeeze those lemons! Can't wait ;))

[@ICookAndPaint]

Thanks, that’s so true!

[@yvonnemariane2265]

ps LOVE the lemon painting! What a channel!

[@ICookAndPaint]

Thank you so much!

[@thunderkrux7745]

I really good rendition of this is adding 2 limes and using their zest and like 4 thin slices of ginger to the sugar with the lemon zest.

[@ICookAndPaint]

That sounds so good! :)

[@akasha1337]

Do you need to let peels + sugar in room temperature or refrigerator for 2-12 hours

[@nijinokanata111]

"Not the best at estimating sizes of vessels" 😂 lemonade looks incredible! I don't know if I could wait the full 12 hours 😁

[@ICookAndPaint]

You and me both!

[@nijinokanata111]

Update: I did it. I cannot make lemonade any other way again!

[@darinasa4428]

Thank you for this video! Pls do the best carrot cake recipe next! :)

[@ICookAndPaint]

Okay! :)

[@livelifewithme7621]

Thanks for the recipe.

[@ICookAndPaint]

Most welcome 😊

[@MrLisarn2]

That’s just REAL life cooking. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

[@ICookAndPaint]

That's right! You're never alone :)

[@sandilobianco6734]

Thank you for sharing.

[@ICookAndPaint]

Pleasure :)

[@jimmyhill9655]

Any reason you can add the lemon juice to the pot with the peels sugars and water?

[@ICookAndPaint]

It’s better to add the juice fresh later without heating it at all to keep its bright flavour :)

Isn’t Chef John the best? 🙌🙌

[@easycookingplus]

Thanks sir

[@alrawi5308]

I love to make lemonade

[@ICookAndPaint]

Same :)

[@Gummy-Bear-3000]

Do I let it sit in the fridge or out of the fridge for the 12 hours?

[@ICookAndPaint]

You just let it sit outside of the fridge, it’s safe for room temperature :)

[@TheKaity1965]

can you do this for orange juice too?

[@ICookAndPaint]

I’ve wondered that myself but never tried. I think I might!

[@jameswysong5967]

The best lemonade I ever had was at Dollywood probably made like you just did.

[@ICookAndPaint]

Nice!

[@kipsiki]

Looks like a lot of work with peeling so I will think about cocking this twice😅 But it looks so delicious

[@wiggywil]

In the future, when using the peeler, DONT SCRAPE UP, towards you, ALWAYS scrape down!! You're WELCOME!!

[@SL-nv6zv]

You have the same kitchen cabinets as I do. Apologies, lol.

[@ICookAndPaint]

Lol!

[@Pasa5ir]

Where are you buddy

[@jdb9388]

No proper peeler or lemon juicer, is this the apocalypse version

[@santilanaknows5308]

Great recipe was absolutely amazing! However you gotta do some workouts bro 1,5l of water shouldnt make you shake so much😅

[@80sGal88]

Could be nerves too
