This is the exception I make to sugar in drinks. I LOVE my lemonades! I can drink it by the gallon and never get enough. My favorite recipes would not be complete without this entry.
There are many different variations you can make.
Here is the basic lemonade recipe:
1 c freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 c sugar
Stir well into a syrup, then add
5-6 c cold water OR seltzer water (depending on how strong you like it & if you want bubbles)
Stir well and serve.
Fruity lemonade-
Combine
about 1 pint strawberries, hulled & mashed OR blueberries OR Peaches
1/4-1/2 c sugar
Let sit a few minutes to get the strawberry juices flowing
Then add to a recipe of basic lemonade.
Other flavors:
2 vanilla beans or 2 T vanilla extract
2 T minced fresh ginger
I have seen a recipe that added watermelon puree but haven't tried that yet. You would have to adjust the water amount.
