Easy, Old-Fashioned, Homemade Lemonade

Hello Friends!
 Lemons are wonderful.  I love to put a fresh slice in my water, so pretty and tasty.  Don’t you just love fresh lemons?  They’re bright and cheerful.  They look great in a fruit bowl.  They make scrumptious lemon meringue pies.  They make delicious lemon bars.  They make the best homemade lemonade.   Why not buy a few today? 
Homemade Lemonade
Serve this over crushed ice with a slice of lemon; and, you have summertime anytime!
You can use fresh squeezed lemon juice or bottled lemon juice. Fresh is best of course. Sliced lemons floating in the pitcher add a nice touch. This is my favorite recipe. 
For 2 quarts:
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
6 cups water
For 1 gallon:
2 cups of lemon juice
2 cups of sugar
12 cups of water
Bring the lemon juice and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat. This causes the sugar to completely dissolve. Then pour the lemon sugar mixture into a pitcher which already has cold water in it. That way you won’t break your pitcher!
Adjust ingredients to your sweet tart preferences.
Enjoy and God bless!

  3. Yum! Way back my sister lived in a house in Florida with a huge lemon tree. We used to bring home a bushel and juice and freeze just for lemonade. We were so spoiled! When I buy a bag of lemons now I quarter and freeze them flat on a baking sheet. Then I store them in a canning jar in the freezer. They are just like fresh when thawed except for the rind.
