PrintOld Fashioned Lemonade
- Yield: 4 cups 1x
Description
There’s nothing more refreshing than a glass of iced-cold lemonade on a hot summer day. For an extra special treat, try our strawberry version, which is guaranteed to keep you cool.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- About 4 cups cold water
Instructions
- In a large heatproof pitcher or measuring cup, whisk together the sugar and boiling water until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Stir in the lemon juice, stirring well. Adjust the lemonade to taste.
- Serve in glasses over ice, with lemon slices.
- Strawberry Lemonade
- Thaw frozen strawberries, and puree until smooth. I like to use a stick/hand blender or regular blender for this. Stir strawberry puree into prepared lemonade. Add to taste.
- Lemonade Soda
- Top off glasses of lemonade with chilled sparkling water.

Made this today as my daughter made it in her girl guide group and loved it. It is such a lovely refreshing drink. I actually blended some watermelon with mine and it was yummy. Will be making this throughout the summer.
