BEST HOMEMADE LEMONADE RECIPE
2 cups lemon juice, (about 5 pounds of lemons)
2 cups filtered water
1.5 cups monk fruit, honey, or sugar*
INSTRUCTIONS
In a small saucepan, heat water and sweetener of choice over a medium low heat, stirring occasionally.
Right before the sugar mixture comes to a simmer, the sweetener will dissolve into the water creating a simple syrup. Shut off the heat and allow to cool.
Juice lemons and add to a large pitcher. Pour in simple syrup and stir.
Add ice and up to 4 cups of filtered water. Serve and enjoy!
NOTES
If you would like to use stevia for your lemonade, reduce measurement to 1/4 cup.
I like to store my lemonade in large mason jars in the fridge.

Amazing! Just tried this!
Yay I love lemonade recipes.
I do maple syrup and a pinch cayenne pepper with my lemons. yum!
That’s a great idea.
Jelly Bean that’ll bring out that zippp! Great thinking
I love that you are encorporating monk fruit into some of your recipes. I’ve been using Lakanto for years, and I love it!
Dani you read my mind. I actually never heard of monkfruit before. Sour lemonade is my fav summer drink but I dislike the taste artificial sweeteners so I opt from making it. I just added it to my shopping list
Perfect timing on rolling out this classic lemonade recipe !
I never thought of making a simple syrup first, great tip.
ikr, no wonder my lemonade’s never sweet enough
The best summer quencher! I totally crave lemonade on hot summer days! Love to make my own simple syrup too with monk!!! Yumola
I add orange blossom to my lemonade but I love the idea of adding other fruits!!! Thank u!!!
Great video as always! I like to use half lemons and half limes and then add just a little pink salt. I use stevia because it is cheaper than monk fruit. When I pour a glass I add a liquid trace mineral supplement and it has a flavor that reminds me of Gatoraide. I call it homemade Gatoraide.
Thanks for the 3 variations!
Great idea. Love it. Something to do this weekend!!!
Your lemonade looks amazing and so refreshing! I’ve never heard of monk fruit sweetener but I’m willing to try it. My local store has it “in the raw”. Are the measurements the same?
