Lemonade is super simple to make and the girls love helping to squeeze the lemons for their juice (and then licking the squeezed lemons afterwards!). Clara begs me to buy a bag of lemons practically every time we go to Costco, but this is the best when we get lemons for free from a friend with a tree.
INGREDIENTS
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
8 cups water (adjust to taste but this is a good starting point, especially if you plan to add ice)
2-3 extra lemons, sliced
DIRECTIONS
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until completely chilled. Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups water. Add sliced lemons to pitcher for presentation.
