Homemade Lemonade
Time to Make It: 15 minutes
Yield: 8 cups lemonade
Ingredients
5 pounds lemons
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
Instructions
1. Cut lemons in half. Juice each lemon through a strainer into a large measuring cup. Keep juicing until you have 2 cups of lemon juice.
2. Pour water into a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in sugar. Continue cooking over heat until sugar is dissolved and liquid looks clear again.
3. Combine sugar solution with lemon juice. This is a lemonade concentrate. When ready to serve, add water to taste.
Note: the lemonade concentrate can be frozen for later use. Just pour it into a gallon-sized ziploc bag and lay flat in the freezer. When ready to serve, thaw, and add water to taste.

I just made the lemonade. And it’s delicious! Love the gadget you used to squeeze out the juice. I made one just like yours on my wood lathe and it works great! Thanks for everything 😊

[@lizandrews3884]

Thank you for posting. I've never tried to make lemonade. Come to think of t, I don't think anyone in my family made it when I was growing up. Thanks to your video, I now know how to. It came out really good. I added way more water because I have acid reflux issues every now & then but I still wanted lemonade. I let my little girl try it & she was just drinking it & giggling. (Goofy girl) but she loved it too. 😄 I'm sure my other two will enjoy it as well by they're asleep at the moment. I will be making lemonade from now on & will add other fruit slices to it as well.

[@lizandrews3884]

Oan, I forgot to say in my previous message that i actually brought the water to a boil before I actually added the sugar because that melts the sugar almost instantly. I also chilled the lemon juice a few minutes in the freezer before I actually combined the two. Thank you so much again for posting this video. (Cyber hugs)

[@INJURYCOMP]

This was the 1st lemonade video I watched and I made it per your ratio. It was a BIG HIT in my family! Yes, that ratio is the concentrate and it takes plenty of ice and water to make it just right. I kept as much as the pulp as I could because we like pulp. For those of you who said it's too much sugar - just add more water. You'll lesson the sugar intake and you'll get more lemonade! This is probably less sugar than a soft drink or other sugary drinks. For those that cook on induction - 250 degrees worked for me.

[@broccolihart1]

Thats right....a bunch of these know it all think the drinks they purchase from the store are looking out for their best interests. Those cans sometimes contain 40mg of hfcs.

Just popped this batch in 2 cup zip-lock bags & into the freezer, waiting for the hot summer days. Tks Stay at Home Chef....I'm loving this.
