We made fresh squeezed lemonade for a co-op class, and it was absolutely delicious. Here is our recipe1:
Ingredients
*Juice from 1 dozen lemons (Well, we only used 11; one of our lemons was consumed by the littles during the squeezing process)
*2 cups homemade simple syrup (uses 1.5 cups sugar, 2 cups water; see below for instructions)
*Approximately 1/2 cup lemon juice (I use the organic lemon juice from Costco; add this until your lemonade is tart enough for your family)
*Ice & water to make approx. 1 gallon of lemonade
Directions
*Make simple syrup: in a saucepan, heat 1.5 cups sugar and 2 cups water on medium low until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
*Juice lemons
*Combine lemon juice, simple syrup, and water to make approx. 3/4 gallon of lemonade. Add bottled lemon juice (or more squeezed lemons) to taste. We like ours pretty tart.
*Serve over plenty of ice.
This was the best homemade lemonade I have ever had. We will definitely make this summer treat again soon.

Thanks for the recipe! I am doing my best to make everything from scratch these days. And I am neurotically planning my daughters 1st Birthday already. Its going to be yellow themed with sunflowers and lemons for decoration. So homemade lemonade would be the perfect party drink!
This post is perfect timing for me as Immy borrowed Maisy Makes Lemonade from the library last week and is itching to make lemonade. Thank you :)
