Reviews
this is a great, simple lemonade recipe. fantastic.
Nearly all of the lemonade recipes are identical (after all, it’s just lemon juice, sugar and water), this one had the easiest to adjust quantities in my opinion.
I put twice as much powdered sugar and even some granulated sugar in this recipe. I definitely measured the water, and you would think that only 5 cups of water to 8 lemons would yield a delicious flavor. It tasted lemony, but it was very bitter even with all the sugar. Maybe it was my lemons. I will try it again someday.
I made this lemonade for Father’s Day. It was wonderful. Definitely a keeper. Thanks!
