its very good 😀
Good, but try the juice of one lemon and half the water, more ice, and 2 TBSP of sugar.
Very delicious
This was really good however it is way more sugar than necessary. Next time I will use less water, more ice, less sugar and more lemon. Update: 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1-1/14 cups ice blend until smooth
Great recipe! I added a half inch of fresh turmeric and ginger. I also included the lemon zest. I increased the water to 5 cups considering all the extra flavor I added.
I used 3 small (and a little old) lemons instead of 1 large and Splenda instead of sugar. The only thing that I would do differently would be to reduce the amount of water and add more ice cubes. As other reviewers have noted, it’s not as “icy” as I would have liked. Still a nice lemonade, though.
I just tried this in my new high speed blender. I used two lemons that I had previously frozen because I bought so many. The lemons were halved and seeded. I also cut off the peel (to prevent bitterness) but kept the rind (for the vitamins). 1/2 cup of sugar made it yummy. I used about 1 cup of water, since the lemons were already frozen. I can’t wait to try strawberry lemonade, peach lemonade, and raspberry lemonade.
This is an icy cold, mildly flavored lemonade. At first I thought it was too watery, and neither sweet nor tart enough. But it grew on me almost instantly. It’s *because* of its mild flavor that it’s particularly refreshing and thirst-quenching, especially important and nice on these hot days when our body needs fluids the most. Rather than peeling the lemon a grapefruit spoon (or serrated knife) made quick work of releasing the juice and pulp (and a few pesky seeds). So that we can drink plenty of this without having to worry about all the extra sugar I replaced it with Splenda. I’m always guilty of not drinking enough water and since I always have a big bowl of lemons on the counter this could quickly make me drink more than I do.
Needed more ice or else it was watery, and I used half the sugar. Great change of pace for the kids!
This drink has good lemon flavor, but it is not “icy” at all as I feel it has too much water in it. The next time I try it I’m doubling the ice and dropping the water to 2 cups rather than 3. I love lemonade and will give this another chance.
This was a perfect drink with grilled steaks on a hot summer day! The whole family loved it. And it really did taste just like the lemon shake-ups at the fair. Thanks!!
Family loved it! Easy, icy and delicious!
This was good but I think I should have added more lemon than it called for. I did pull the lemon pulp out the lining of the lemon so it wouldn’t be in the drink. I will try other recipes before I do this one again.
I use powedered sugar instead blends much better…
Delicious! I did make a few small adjustments: added extra lemon juice beside the fresh lemon, and substituted in some frozen strawberries because we were running low on ice. Also cut back on the water for a stronger lemon/strawberry flavor. I really recommended sectioning the lemon and just tossing in some of the peel for texture and flavor. Absolutely fabulous!
My daughter found the recipe and makes it often through the year. Fantastic every time it is made. Everyone she has served it to enjoys it thoroughly.
I found this recipe to be extremely sweet as is. I reduced the sugar to about 1/2 cup, and doubled the ice. Very refreshing on a HOT day! 🙂
Very good, almost perfect. But it seemed to not have enough lemon flavor, and a lot too much sugar flavor.
This is like the old lemon slush they sold out of an ice cream truck by my school. I so love it I took Jeff’s advice and used 2 medium lemons peal and all so love this!!! Thank you so much!!!
We love this. My daughter, who’s 12, makes this by herself all the time and we have perfected it. I like my lemonade more lemony and less sugary so we add 1-2 extra lemons squeezed. But everything else is just right.
This recipe was better than my mothers! This was the best lemonade ever. I don’t recommend changing anything.
