Fresh lemonade reminds me of going to the boardwalk and lemonade stands on a hot summer day

mmm…

ice-cold lemonade

can even make a cold winter day bright,

especially when you have fresh lemons.

I make two quarts of lemonade from three of four Meyer lemons (all lemons give a different amount of juice, especially if they are ripe or not quite as ripe)

it does depend on how juicy they are,

these were very juicy so three is all I needed.

slice them in half then begin juicing

you can use a handheld juicer,

or a press style juicer

or whichever you have there are so many types

then, in a pitcher

add 1/3 cup sugar

and dissolve with

2/3 cup warm tap water (alternative you can boil the sugar and water for a smooth syrup to mix into the lemonade)

it only takes a minute to stir and it will dissolve then add the lemon juice and fill with cold water stir and serve I rimmed the glass with a slice of lemon and dipped it in sugar-filled the glass with plenty of ice and poured the lemonade in gave it a stir.

You can make lemonade with lemon syrup as well, click here for that recipe.
