<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe are going to tell you all about homemade lemonade. There are some tips and tricks we want to share to help you make the best drink<\/a> possible and, of course, we have a fantastic homemade lemonade recipe that we know you will love. Let\u2019s dive right in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t need much to make a perfect pitcher of lemonade. In fact you just need 4 ingredients! Take a quick look at what you need to make homemade lemonade. You may already have everything in your house, ready to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have gathered all of your ingredients together, grab a small pot, some measuring cups, a rubber spatula and a large pitcher. You will also need a citrus juicer and a sharp knife to help squeeze the lemon juice. But let us tell you a little bit more about how to do that, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cut a lemon in half and then squeeze it. Juice will come out! Sounds simple but there are actually a few tips and tricks to help you get the most lemon juice possible out of your lemon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our homemade lemonade recipe uses 1 cup of lemon juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How many lemons for one cup of juice? About 5! Five regular sized lemons will give you about a cup of juice. Use our tips and tricks below to make sure you get as much juice possible out of each lemon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After making our homemade lemonade recipe quite a few times, we have definitely found that 5 large lemons will make plenty of juice. Using these tricks, you may be able to get 1 cup of juice from 4 lemons but buy 5 just to be safe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few different types of lemons that you may find in your local grocery store. Regular, large lemons will work perfectly. However, if you are looking to make some fancy juice, you may want to try a different type of lemon. Here is a quick look at different lemon varieties and how they will change the taste of your homemade lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no comparison between bottled lemon juice and fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice will always taste better. Choose the juiciest, most tender lemons possible and you can never go wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Making fresh lemonade from scratch is insanely easy. The whole process only takes about 5 minutes. Maybe ten minutes if you take your time squeezing the lemons. Maybe 15 minutes if you pause to look up lyrics for Lemonade by Beyonce while you are making the drink\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a look at how to make lemonade and then get ready to never buy Simply Lemonade ever again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See how easy it is to make homemade lemonade? It may just be time to set up a lemonade stand in front of your house and start selling this lemonade- everyone is going to go crazy for it. That secret ingredient called honey really does make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have made homemade lemonade more that a billion times. Seriously. We are probably in the billions. It is just so classic, so pure and a drink that is great for every occasion and for all different people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since we are lemonade pros, we have a few tips and tricks to help you make the perfect drink. Take a look at our little lemonade secrets before you start mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have a lemonade making tip we need to know? Tell us in the comments below! We want all of your lemonade secrets and we want them now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a lot of lemonade brands out there to choose from. There are small individual bottles of lemonade and larger gallon sized pitchers. One trick to finding the best, highest quality lemonade is to choose lemonades that are in the refrigerated section in the grocery store. Refrigerated lemonade is typically made with fresh lemon juice rather than concentrate. It will also have fewer preservatives and additives when compared to shelf stable lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are our current, favorite brands of lemonade and a little bit about why you should try each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply Lemonade<\/strong>- Simply Lemonade is part of the Simply brand which focuses on pure juice with minimal ingredients. It is made with pure filtered water, lemon juice, cane sugar, and natural flavors. You can grab large bottles of Simply Lemonade or individual mini sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hubert\u2019s Lemonade<\/strong>- Hubert\u2019s lemonade is another brand that tries to use minimal additives. It tastes very much like homemade lemonade and it even comes in a ton of interesting flavors. Hubert\u2019s lemonade is made with filtered water, lemon juice from concentrate, cane sugar, citric acid, natural flavors and stevia extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Calypso Lemonade<\/strong>- Calypso lemonade is the original flavored lemonade. It comes in a wide range of flavors from pineapple peach to blue calypso. But, of course, we like the original the best. It\u2019s not too sour, not too sweet and usually kept perfectly chilled. Inside the bottle you\u2019ll find filtered water, sugar, lemon juice concentrate, citric acid, lemon fruit pulp, modified food starch, and beta carotene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nantucket Nectars<\/strong>- Nantucket nectars is a great example of classic lemonade in a bottle. It is sweet, pure and reliably delicious. All that goes into a bottle of Nantucket Nectar lemonade is water, lemon juice, sugar, lemon pulp, acerola fruit extract, acacia gum and natural flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have a favorite fresh lemonade brand? Let us know which one! While we love making our own homemade lemonade, we know that you may not always have time to whip up a batch. These pure, simple lemonades are great options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We love taking a simple recipe and switching it up to be a little bit different and a little unique. Here are a few ways we have changed this recipe to make it even more flavorful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a tablespoon of matcha tea powder to our lemonade recipe, whisking it into the warm honey simple syrup. You may want to increase the sugar to one full cup as matcha is a little dry tasting. However, matcha, lemon and honey are a match made in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peel and remove the pit from two large, ripe peaches. Puree the peaches in a blender or food processor until very smooth. Stir the peach puree into the pitcher of lemonade for an incredibly fresh peach lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a tablespoon of dried lavender<\/a> buds to the simple syrup. Once the syrup boils, cover and let the lavender steep for about 10 minutes. Strain the syrup to remove the lavender and discard the buds. Make the rest of the recipe using the lavender honey syrup<\/a> and you will have a fantastic lavender lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replace the lemon juice with pink lemon juice from pink variegated lemons. If you can\u2019t find pink lemons, just add one drop of pink food coloring to the lemonade and stir. You don\u2019t want the lemonade to be too bright pink so just one drop of color will do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use \u00be cup lemon juice and \u00bc cup fresh squeezed lime juice to make a fantastic lemon-limeade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are so many different ways to make homemade lemonade that the possibilities really are endless. Our lemonade recipe is a great starting point and can be tweaked and altered in quite a few ways. You can even create a drink like Truly Lemonade that is fizzed to perfection! Of course, we prefer to leave out the alcohol because who needs a spiked lemonade when the non alcoholic version is so good?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also have recipes for Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade<\/a>, Sparkling Lemonade<\/a> and even a Raspberry Lemonade<\/a> that you may want to check out too. Which one is the best? That is impossible to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have mastered how to make lemonade at home, you want to be able to serve that perfect lemonade in a beautiful way. We have quite a few lemonade accessories that we think you need, especially if you are a lemonade addict like us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did we forget any essential lemonade accessories? Let us know in the comments below! We want to be fully prepared to make lemonade in the best, fanciest way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Homemade lemonade is a drink that so many people love. It is such an easy drink to make that everyone should really have a big pitcher on hand, ready to serve at all times. We make this lemonade recipe all summer long and never grow tired of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Give our homemade lemonade recipe a try and we know that it will quickly become your favorite, easy summer drink.
