$6 for a 5 lb bag of lemons = 3 big pitchers of lemonade.
YUM!!

[Tondi G]

NICE! I love fresh lemonade!

[MMMommy]

That sounds so refreshing right now!

[smiles33]

Or, use some of that lemon juice for various cocktails (per your other thread)!

[twowhat?]

Can I ask how you make it? I've never made lemonade before and it sounds like it could be a great kid activity.

[wellyes]

Here's what I do - it's kicky, strong and sweet.

Squeeze 5-6 lemons very well - I have a manual press
Pour boiling water on 1 cup sugar
Add lemon juice and sugar water to pitcher
Fill pitcher with water (about 6 cups)
Chill
Drink

The kids do help, I let them roll the lemons and pull the lever on the juicer - which I got at TJ Maxx and is like this one http://www.amazon.com/Commerical-Man...=Manual+Juicer

Fun!!!! I've never made lemonade, but this is on my list of things to do with the kids next week. Thanks!

We have an actual juicer. And I use lemons and apples for my sweetener. No sugar and delicious. Needs water too.

Today I'm going to make a watermelon lemonade with apple as the sweetener as well.

[MamaInMarch]

Can you share how you use apples for sweetness? That sounds like a great idea!

I love to add some mashed raspberries or puréed strawberries to our homemade lemonade. It's so good.

I didn't appreciate this thread until I went to buy lemons at Whole Foods last night and 6 lemons cost over $5! That was one pricey gallon of lemonade we had
