    This Old Fashioned Lemonade recipe is simple and straightforward. It yields 1 gallon of lemonade and is quick and easy to make.

    Old Fashioned Lemonade 1 Gallon Recipe poured into 2 stemless wine glasses, garnished with lemon rine

    Ingredients

    • Lemons
    • Sugar
    • Water
    rolling a lemon
    juicing a lemon
    separating lemon seed from juice

    How to Dissolve the Sugar more quickly in Lemonade:

    If you hate standing at the kitchen sink stirring your juice you can speed up the process by either using HOT water while making the juice or heating this water and sugar together on the stove before adding the lemon juice.

    How to Juice Lemons without a Juicer:

    1. Bring Lemons to Room Temperature (helps the juice flow) Wash the lemons
    2. Roll each lemon back and forth on the countertop until squishy
    3. Quarter the lemons and toss them in a mixing bowl
    4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and turn the mixer on low. (paddle attachment or beaters if using a handheld)
    5. After a few minutes, all of the juice should be out
    6. Run the lemon and peel through a sieve.

    How to Store Fresh Lemonade

    Store without ice cubes, in the fridge. Keep Covered until ready to serve

    How long does homemade lemonade last in the fridge?

    It will keep in a covered juice pitcher for up to 7 days.

    What kind of Juicer should I use?

    There are many types of juicers from mechanical to handheld. Although 2 pounds of lemons is significant, it's not out of the question to do by hand. I use a simple Twist handheld type, like this.
