How do you make lemonaide from scratch?

Question

I really want lemonaide and I don't have the mix you buy at the store - thanks! :)

Answer 1

Squeeze:

4 lemons
1 orange
1 lime

Put into pitcher.

Add 1/2 cup honey to dissolve in 1 cup warm water. Put into pitcher.

Add:

3 c. cold water
1 tray of ice

Mix and refrigerate or serve.

Answer 2

The secret to perfect lemonade is to start by making sugar syrup, also known as "simple syrup". Dissolving the sugar in hot water effectively disperses the sugar in the lemonade, instead of having the sugar sink to the bottom.

Remember the starting proportions - 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of lemon juice.

(This ratio makes a pretty sweet lemonade. Reduce the amount of sugar if you want your lemonade less sweet or if you are using Meyer lemons which are naturally sweeter than standard lemons.)

In a small saucepan heat the sugar and water until the sugar is dissolved completely. While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice. Add the juice and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add around 4 cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes.

Serve with ice, sliced lemons.
