Simple Homemade Lemonade- Recipes My Mom Gave Me

This is a recipe that I only remember my Mom making once us kids were grown. Probably, because, when we were young, fresh lemons for lemonade for a family of seven were most likely, not in her grocery budget. 

But, once we were grown and her grandkids were visiting?  Fresh lemonade every summer.!🍋

Ingredients Needed

  • Lemons
  • Sugar
  • Water

How to Adjust the Amount of Your Lemonade + Notes

  • Use a 5 to 1 to 1 ration.  
  • For example:  5 cups of cold water- 1 cup sugar- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (which will come from your 6 lemons)
  • When you are squeezing your lemons, do it over a measuring cup.  This way, you know exactly how much juice you are getting from the lemons.
  • Bottled Juice?  I do not recommend using bottled lemon juice.  It's just not good for this recipe.  It contains extra additives and preservatives.  Not good for your fresh lemonade. 
💡 Tip: To get more juice from your lemons, you can microwave the whole lemon for about 10-15 seconds or you can roll the lemons on your countertop, to get the juices flowing.
