If you want the easiest, yet not the quickest, fresh-squeezed lemonade recipe, this is it! Delicious! It's just like the lemonade you get a local fairs and festivals! My recipe will make a full 2 quart pitcher-full, plus two extra glasses. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
6 cups water |
2 cups fresh lemon juice |
lemon slices and mint sprigs for garnish |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, heat sugar and 2 cups of water to a boil.
2. Stir to dissolve sugar.
3. Simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Let cool.
5. Refrigerate syrup until chilled.
6. Squeeze approximately 12 lemons to get 2 cups of juice...I bought a 3 lb, bag of lemons at Sam's Club and it was the perfect amount.
7. In a pitcher, mix the remaining water, lemon juice, and chilled syrup.
8. Serve in tall glasses over ice.
9. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves, if desired.
