Homemade Lemonade

Submitted by: June Shockley

Ingredients
  • 4 cups Sugar
  • 6 cups Water
  • 24 whole Lemons, Juiced
  • 8 cups Water (additional)
  • Lots Of Ice!

Preparation Instructions

Heat 4 cups sugar with 6 cups of water in a medium saucepan until it's dissolved. Set this in the fridge to cool.
Chill the lemon juice if you have the time.
Pour the lemon juice into a large vat. Pour in 3/4 of the syrup, then top off the vat with ice. Pour in 8 cups of water (give or take), stir it around, then give it a taste. Add more syrup if it needs sweetness, or more water if it needs dilution.
Serve immediately!
Add 2 cups raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or sliced strawberries to the lemonade for different flavors.
Make hard lemonade by adding 2 cups light rum or tequila to the lemonade. (Naughty! Adults only!)
