It is summer time and it is hot outside, maybe you have been working out in the yard, maybe you just got back from a jog, or playing with the kids, and now you are seeking some refreshment. How about a nice cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade?? It is soo yummy and definitely tastes better then the stuff you can buy at the store, plus you know exactly what is going into it. This lemonade is super easy to make, extremely yummy, and perfect for quenching your thirst! I will be honest I love drinking water but every once in awhile I want some lemonade! Let's get started!

8 to 10 lemons (fresh is best!)
8 cups of water (64 ounces)
1 3/4 cups of white granulated sugar (375g) You can add more or less sugar.

Tools:
Juicer: http://amzn.to/2uszUOd

Step 2: On medium heat bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. We are creating a simple syrup. The reason why we do this is to ensure the sugar dissolves properly in the water. :) Creates a better lemonade.

Step 3: Squeeze those lemons! However you like, with a hand juicer, or electric one.

Step 4: Cover and chill both the simple syrup and the lemon juice in the fridge.

Step 5: Add chilled simple syrup and lemon juice with the other 7 cups of water, and stir. I always use filtered water. Don't use tap water unless your tap water tastes amazing. Mine tastes horrible. lol

Also if you are really lazy, you can make a decent glass of lemonade by taking a glass and squeezing one lemon into it. Fill with water, then add sugar to taste. haha :) But try out the above method and see if you like it. :)

Theres nothing better than making your own drinks and food at home. Much healthier than buying from the store and not knowing what youre actually drinking and eating.
I love the simple step by step way you show in the video:)
Great for a nice hot and sunny day to feel refreshed!

I know right? Homemade drinks are amazing! And thank you very much!! :) You are welcome and thanks for the nice comment!

Homemade lemonade sounds soo refreshing right about now! It's sooo hot. haha.. Can I make a quick suggestion, do a specific dtube intro video...saying who you are and what you plan to do. Give it a shot, doesn't have to be all fancy just something simple.

lol yeah it is really hot here! That is a great suggestion! :)

A bit too sugary for me but nothing taste better than fresh lemon or lime juice after a workout on a hot day. Have you ever tried fermented homemade lemonade? It has some fizz and no sugar. My favorite.

mmm Interesting! No I haven't fermented homemade lemonade. Sounds cool! You can always add less sugar! ;)

Terimakasih aku suka video mu, really like, thanks for your sharing

Thank you! Glad you liked it! :)

Awwww ... lemonade, one of my favourite drinks. I love lemon tea too!! Any recipe to share??

Looking forward to try your recipe soon!

Thank you!! :)

Well thank you! I am not much of a tea drinker but I do have one that I make as a cold remedy, which I really really like. It is super simple. And you don't have to only drink it when you have a cold, you can drink it whenever. lol
