Grammy’s Famous Lemonade

April 23, 2019 by Courtney 3 Comments

With summer around the corner, it’s a good time to have a tried and true lemonade recipe on hand. My son was home sick from school yesterday and requested Grammy’s famous lemonade. When I was little and not feeling well, my mom would make a bed on the sofa and make this lemonade.

Truth be told, this recipe is nothing out of the ordinary but it’s a tradition we are happy to carry forward. And it’s so yummy!

Grammy’s Famous Lemonade

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 3 whole lemons
  • 4 cups cold water
  • 12 cubes ice

Instructions

  1. Mix sugar and hot water in a pitcher

  2. Add juice of 3 lemons

  3. Add 4 cups of cold water and 12 ice cubes

  4. Stir vigorously with wooden spoon

  5. Serve over ice

Bring on summer! And bring on the ice-cold lemonade. Thank you, Grammy!

I thought I had already posted this recipe so I was searching my own blog and stumbled upon this post. This was the children’s fist lemonade stand and I can’t get over how little they were. This sad face was after their first taste of rejection. Luckily business picked right up and they had a great day. Grammy and Papa even drove over to buy a glass. Sweet memories.

    Our mom made fresh lemonade in the summer and she added one orange – made it naturally sweet, but of course she added additional sugar as well!
