Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups sweetener
- additional water to adjust to taste I added 5 cups
Instructions
- Juice the lemons using a lemon squeezer or lemon juicer.
- Add the lemon juice to a pitcher. I used a strainer when adding it to a pitcher because there were parts of the flesh from juicing.
- Pour 2 cups of water into a pan on medium-high heat. Add in the sweetener and stir.
- This will create a simple syrup. Continue to stir until the mixture is clear.
- Remove from the heat and add it to the pitcher with the lemon juice. Stir and add additional water to taste/meet your lemonade preference.

Notes
- The number of lemons you will need will vary based on the size of the lemons you use and how much juice you can get from each. Typically, I use 8-10 lemons.
- The best cheap way to make this recipe is to pick up a bag of lemons from Costco. A bag is usually $6.
- If you are having trouble juicing the lemons, place them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. This will help soften them up.
- Adjust this recipe to suit your taste and needs. If you like really sweet lemonade, add more sweetener.
- You can heat the simple syrup in the microwave if you wish. Heat it until the mixture turns clear, timing will vary.
- You can save a little time and work by using this monkfruit simple syrup from Lakanto instead of making your own.
- You can make strawberry lemonade using 2 cups of fresh puréed strawberries.
