Making the lemonade
It doesn't get much easier than that. Mix, add, pour, drink. The lemon juice, I feel is important to get a brand you trust. I don't have a problem with Aldi's lemon juice brand as we feel it has a good flavor.
You certainly don't want one that you feel has a bitter taste. Since it is a major part of this homemade lemonade, you need to like your lemon juice.
Water please
A watered down lemonade is not a very tasty lemonade. That is why it is important to be aware of your pitcher size and adjust accordingly. The pitcher size in this recipe is 1 gallon. If you use a smaller pitcher, you will want to add a little less lemon juice and sugar.
The result
The result of mixing the lemon juice, water and sugar together is a delicious and simple lemonade recipe your family will love. No long complicated recipe. No long and drawn out post. Simple recipe calls for simple instructions.
Add. Mix. Pour. Stir. Chill. Drink.
As good as it gets.
