#50 Lemonade

I was waiting for summer to make homemade lemonade. There is nothing that says summer like lemonade! And I have never made it homemade...I know...weird!

Lemonade

1/2 sugar or honey
7 cups water
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 4-5 lemons)

1. Combine the sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then let cool.

 
2. Juice your lemons. Until you have 3/4 cup.
 

 
I had a little more....what the heck, I went with it!

2. Combine the sugar water, lemon juice, and remaining water in a pitcher. And stir.



Chill or serve over ice! Keeps in the fridge for 5 days, but it probably will not last that long! You could freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.

Yummy! The perfect summer beverage....and pretty easy to make homemade. I like the lightly sweet fresh lemon flavor!
