i added just a little more sugar
I loved it! It only lasted about a week though. Enjoy when freshly made!
I made this in a smaller batch for my grandchildren. It was a great hit but I think I added a bit too much sugar. Will definitely be making this often.
Wonderful party drink. Big hit at my son’s graduation party. Looks so pretty in glass drink dispensers. I made strawberry lemonade by pureeing a cup of fresh strawberries then boiling it down about 30 minutes to reduce. I mixed the sugar into strawberry reduction to make a syrup, which combined better with the cold water. Do not make too far ahead of time as it turns bitter as the lemon slices sit.
I made it as suggested and it is fabulous. Not too sickly sweet like some concoctions can be. Great recipe!
Love it! Agree with Not leaving the lemon slices in overnite. 🙂
I thought the lemonade was great! I added a bit more lemons juice and sugar because you’ know sweet and bitter go together.
The perfect lemonade recipe! Definitely my go to! Add some macerated black cherry syrup to it and you have the perfect black cherry lemonade! Yum!
We made a 1/3 batch, and it was delicious! We used warm water to help dissolve the sugar, and then strained the lemon slices out. After adding ice and letting the ice melt just a touch it was perfect!
Really delicious and dead easy to make with my daughter. It vanished!
WAYYY too sweet! I reduced the sugar by 2/3 (1 cup sugar to every 12 small lemons) and 7 cups water. Used a food processor to slice the lemons wafer-thin and macerated the slices with the sugar., then stirred in the water. Iced individual servings rather than adding ice to the recipe.
We made this lemonade for a class project. And everyone wanted seconds or even thirds. And they even tried to take the pitcher where we pour the lemonade from. So I believe this stuff is amazing.
Delicious!!! My daughter said it was just like the lemonade she gets at the fair!
Very delish! Used a little less sugar and it was perfect!
This is the best lemonade ever! It isn’t too tart. Plenty of sweetness. Who knew you could make it without the juicer!
The family LOVED this lemonade! I like how this can easily be adjusted to taste by adding more sugar, lemon or water. Very easy and waaaaay better than store bought…a keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
horrible disgusting threw up
nice looks delicious yum yum going to make it
It was great but you may want to use less sugar it is very sweet
Best lemonade ever! Easy to make and it tastes great. Nice to make for large gatherings.
Wow! This drink is amazing. My only grudge is how labor intensive it is. You don’t want tons of seeds so more work at the beginning means a better end result. If you’re making it for a party, make it plenty of time ahead so that you’re not rushed and hasty while dissecting the lemons. I can’t wait to make this for our large punch dispenser. I guarantee it won’t last long!
