These days my lemonade usually comes from Chick-fil-a or Crystal Light, but I used to make this homemade version every summer. It is tart but also sweet enough to hurt your teeth; Equal measure could be used instead of sugar.
Ingredients:
1 c. sugar
1 c. fresh lemon juice
5 c. water
rind of 2 lemons, scrubbed and cut in pieces
Mix sugar with one cup of water and lemon rinds. Heat to boil and simmer until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool and strain. Mix sugar syrup, remaining 4 cups of water and lemon juice. Pour over ice. Add cherry juice for pink lemonade. Makes 6 glasses.
You can make lemonade popsicles out of this recipe or just leave in the freezer long enough to make it slushy. (This is called Lemon Ice at the fair and costs a fortune per serving.)
