Notes

Here at the homestead, we have very different opinions on how lemonade should taste. I like my lemonade to taste like lemons! My other half prefers a watered-down version of lemonade. The basic recipe for lemonade is as follows:

1 part lemon juice, 1 part granulated sugar, 4-5 parts water.

The type/tartness of lemons you use will determine how much you use. As with all recipes, taste and adjust to suit your liking. . . .
