Who doesn’t love a glass of home-made lemonade? As summer rolls in, and our evening conversations start to move out to the deck or the back yard, lemonade starts creeping into my thoughts. I started the summer early this year when we made Chicken Picatta, and had 2 leftover lemons. Not one to let food go to waste, I was planning how best to use them. Then it hit me. One delicious glass of lemonade, of course. Then the only question is who gets to drink it!

Update: 4/5/20 I know how stressful it is right now to be cooking 2-3 times a day while you’re also trying to work, “home school”, referee kids, and get your house under control. We created an epic inspiration binder of the easiest cheap meals. These ideas are field-tested by hundreds of thousands of our readers and are guaranteed to help even the most overwhelmed mom stick to a meal plan.  

And we’re giving it to you 100% free right now so you can use it to help you get through this time. And bonus: You’ll end up using it long after the pandemic is over.

This recipe is perfect for us, because we don’t drink soda or keep it in the house. Our drinks are water or… water. If we made a full pitcher of lemonade, we would probably drink the whole thing in an hour. All two cups of sugar of it! Having one delicious glass is a much better option.

If you don’t feel like messing with the hot water/sugar syrup, by all means skip that step and mix it right away. The quick syrup that you make by mixing the sugar and hot water helps the sugar dissolve into the drink better. I’ve had it both ways though and sometimes I just skip the syrup step because I’m lazy. 🙂

If you’re looking for more than just a glass, Here are a few of my favorites from around the web…

      I keep meaning to try watermelon infused water. I bet that would be delicious. Hmmm, I should go add watermelon to my shopping list right now so that I don’t keep forgetting.

    We drink a lot of water too and I’ve never made lemonade, but I will squeeze a whole lemon in a big glass of ice water. I also make a lot of iced green tea in the summer.
