Best Ever Homemade Lemonade

This lemonade has the most delicious flavor and is perfect for quenching your thirst on hot summer days!

Lemonade is my favorite summertime drink.

I am actually pretty particular with my lemonade, probably because I was so spoiled growing up.

My grandparents have a lemon tree in their backyard. Some of my favorite summertime memories begin and end with that Lemon tree. Growing up, my sister and I used to pick the lemons with my grandma, help my grandma squeeze and squish the lemons to get every ounce of juice they had to offer out of them and help her make a fresh batch of lemonade.

My grandma made the cutest lemonade stand and my younger sister and I used to spend a good portion of our summer days selling that lemonade, and drinking it too ;) People would sometimes even come back for thirds- it is THAT good!

A couple of weeks ago, my family went and visited my grandparents. My grandma could hardly wait to get in the kitchen to make fresh lemonade with my kiddos. Watching them work hand in hand with my grandma literally brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful and elated that they get to make some wonderful memories, just as I had, with my beautiful and amazing grandma.

Of course she got out the lemonade stand for my kids :) They are still talking about their fun times picking and squeezing the lemons.

One disclaimer my grandma wanted me to add in here is that some lemons are stronger in flavor than others so you may have to adjust the recipe accordingly. That said, this is the proportions we find to be the best most of the time :)

Trust me, once you try this fresh and delicious batch of homemade lemonade, you won’t want to have it any other way! It is the perfect way to quench your thirst. My mouth is watering just thinking about drinking a delicious cold glass of this fresh lemonade!
