Simple Homemade Lemonade Recipe Plus 5 Easy Variations for Having a Lemonade Bar {Fashion Fridays}

Author Tammy Blankenship and Christina Lakey

Ingredients

  • 1 part lemon juice
  • 1 part granulated sugar
  • 4 parts water

Instructions

  1. Mix together lemon juice, granulated sugar, and water.
  2. Each person can flavor their lemonade to their own liking!

Recipe Notes

Dress it Up:
Serve basic lemonade with a variety of syrup and fruit mix-ins.
Here are some of our favorites:
Fruit - blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry (as syrups, mix-ins, or both)
Herbs - mint, basil
Herbal Tea - Passion Tea (Tazo), Wildberry Zinger (Celestial Seasonings)
Cucumber
Change it Up:
Substitute lightly carbonated water for a little fizz. If you are going to carbonate, we recommend using a plain simple syrup for the sweetener, made by boiling 1 part granulated sugar, 1/2 part water for 5 minutes.
Substitute the granulated sugar with honey (we usually just go half and half) for an earthier tone (this goes well with the fruity tea varieties!)
