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, like this pitcher.
If you use a smaller pitcher, you will want to add a little less lemon juice and sugar.

The result of mixing the lemon juice, water and sugar together is a delicious and simple lemonade recipe your family will love.
