Yum! I also added about 2 1/2 to 3 Tbsp raspberry puree to it and made raspberry lemonade. What an awesome drink for summer barbecues! Thanks for sharing! -
Our group of four rate this 4 stars (x2) and 5 stars (x2). Swapping frozen fruit for ice will be a nice variation. I look forward to making this refreshing drink again. -
Pretty Darn Good. I didn't have fresh lemons on hand so I used Real Lemon Juice. Thanks!

This was my first time I ever made homemade lemonade in my life and im in my later 30's...thank you so much for this recipe, my boyfriend just tried it and said "good job" - hehe. I followed your recipe to the "t"..I couldn't believe all the lemons I had to squeeze but it was well worth it. Props to your recipe - its the greatest! -
I made this yesterday with lemons from our tree. It is very good! I douled the recipe to fill a 1G pitcher. I only used a total of 1 1/2 sugar & I think it is the perfect sweet/tart ratio.
