Lemonade- the easy, homemade way!

July 20, 2018 by Tina Anthis

Homemade Lemonade…something I’ve always wanted to try but never took the time. When we were setting up our summer “bucket list” we wanted to add in a few of those Pinterest-y things we’ve never gotten around to. Homemade Lemonade was an easy addition. Read on to see our super easy recipe!Like so many people (well, atleast Pinterest people) we have a  “summer bucket list”. It has some pretty basic things on there like…

  • go out for frozen yogurt
  • have a Slurpee
  • watch fireworks
  • have a picnic

We have some big ideas too…

  • go to the beach
  • go on a roadtrip
  • visit a museum

and then we threw in a few quirky ones for good measure…

  • learn something (anything!) new
  • catch fireflies
  • make homemade lemonade

That last one is something my kids were sure we weren’t actually going to do! Much to their surprise I came home with two big bags of lemons and a hand-held lemon juicer thing. We got right down to it…

Homemade Lemonade

2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 12-14 lemons)

3/4 cup granulated sugar (more if you want it sweeter!)

5 cups warm water (I used warm to help stir the sugar in and then poured it over ice to chill)

optional ingredients:

fresh mint (muddle or use for garnish)

2-3 fresh strawberries (muddle or puree then strain)

2-4 mango chunks (puree then strain)

1/8 cup blueberries (puree then strain)

(Equipment: juicer, blender, measuring cups/bowls and a strainer)

We ended up with:

Strawberry-Mint Lemonade (me)

Mango-Lemonade (Joshua)

Strawberry Lemonade (Sofia)

Mango-Blueberry-Mint Lemonade (Sarah)

They were all delish!
