Nice and simple, and a hit with the kids! Just one minor thing though – it may be a matter of taste, but I would suggest starting with only 4 cups of water (+ the one for the syrup), and then adding more to taste. The first attempt came out tasting just a little ‘watered-down’ for my liking.

It was 8 degrees this morning here in maine and I still decided to make your lemonade. I needed to put some lemon zest in my freezer so I only had 2 lemons to use. I got 1/2 cup of juice out of them so I made 1/2 a batch. Lemonade is easy to make but making the simple syrup made it even easier to mix- no sugar in the bottom of the jar!

My mother-in-law gave us a bag of lemons yesterday and so my daughters and I made this today as a treat. Early February in the Pacific Northwest and it brought a bit of sunshine to our day. Thank you! Perfect recipe as always.

That is really cold! I’m glad it doesn’t get that cold here. I did originally publish it in June, which is great lemonade time. I hope you love it when you do try it. 🙂

Great idea, but you’re giving us a lemonade recipe that you say you’ll be sipping on your porch all summer long?
Hate to break it to you – but it’s winter. Currently 2°F with a “Real Feel” of – 5°F where I live. Our nighttime temps are dropping to MINUS 39 & 43°F on Thursday & Friday (2 & 3 days from now).
And about those lemons at $1 each, which is pretty standard, year round…
‘Fraid this one’s gonna have to wait about 5 months – if we’re lucky.

This is very good as I like it not overly sweet. Perfect!

It’s December in Russell, Ontario Canada. I recently bought a bunch of lemons that were reduced for a quick sale. I knew I was going to make lemonade and I came upon your recipe. It didn’t disappoint! I did revive the amount of water by one cup because I wanted it more tart. Absolutely amazing!

Very good recipe. I swapped out 1 cup of regular water for strawberry water to make strawberry lemonade. Next time I will use fresh pineapple.

This is the best lemonade I’ve ever had! I’m 13 years old and LOVE lemonade. Favorite drink of all time! When I saw all the lemons in the fridge I figured I’d try to make some for the first time. When I saw this recipe I decided to give it a whirl, and I’m so happy I did. Thanks for this!! I’ll be using it in the future for sure.

Just made this as we are getting ready for another HOT spell here in the Midwest and it is delicious. My lemons must have been huge as it only took 3 of them and then it was a little over 1 cup. I like to think I’m a lemonade connoisseur as I’ve made other recipes and bought bottled real lemonade but this tops them all. Thanks for the super easy recipe!!

Do you know how many servings one recipe makes?

Perfect! As everyone else has said. My husband loves lemonade and vodka and sometimes uses those gross powder packets. No more. This is truly perfect with only 4 large lemons and water. Simple syrup is the secret! Thank You!

We love the slushy idea! So glad you enjoyed it 😊

Perfect! The ratios are great. Neither too tart nor too sweet. Try it blended with ice (3 cups & 3 cups water) for a slushy too

About how many lemons

I doubled this recipe to make in my 1 gallon pitcher. I had 8 lemons that I had used for the zest to make lemoncello, so I figured I better make some lemonade too! The 8 large lemons I had weren’t enough, so I had to top off the remaining 1/3 cup that I was short with some bottled lemon juice that I had in the fridge. Turned out great! A little on the more tart side but delicious! My daughter prefers more sweet, so she added a little extra sugar to her glass.
