The best homemade lemonade 🍋 also, sound on for Bella’s little voice over. 🥰 Recipe: •Juice 4-6 lemons into a pitcher and refrigerate. I used 4 large lemons from my parents lemon tree. •Put a few of your juiced lemons into a pot and add 1/3 of a cup - 1 cup sugar. I did 2/3 cups since I didn’t want it to be too sweet. Mash the lemons + the sugar with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon and let it sit 1 hour (the longer you leave it the better). The sugar will draw out the water and leave a very concentrated lemon flavor. Lemon peels have a more concentrated lemon flavor and fragrance compared to just the juice of the lemons. Honestly, this time I only did 15 mins and it still tasted great! (Additional add ins: 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar + 1/4 tsp. mineral salt, the salt will make the lemons taste sweeter and cut any bitterness+ the cream of tartar will give it extra tart flavor so that it’s a well balanced perfectly made lemonade! 🥰🍋 @redmondrealsalt 🔗 in bio.

The ratio for simple syrup is 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water. •Turn off heat and let it sit for 10 minutes then strain the lemon peels and simple syrup. Squeeze out any juice from the lemons. •Once cooled a bit add your lemon simple syrup to you lemon juice and top it off with cold filtered water and stir! •Pour over ice and enjoy! 🤤🍋 ✨Follow on I G for more recipes, clean swaps, herbal remedies, toddler activities, homeschool, motherhood, lifestyle + more! @bella.and.melly 💕 #lemonade #lemonaderecipe #homemadelemonade #howtomakelemonade #drinkrecipes #simplesyruprecipe #EasyRecipe
