1000 - Homemade Lemonade #
(by Shirley McNevich)
2 cups white sugar
2 cups water + 7 or 8 cups water
2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice (you'll need 12-16 lemons depending on their size)
Place lemons on your counter at least a few hours until they are room temperature. Cut and squeeze lemons using a juicer until you have 2 cups of lemon juice. In a saucepan over low heat add 2 cups water and 2 cups white sugar--stir and heat until all of the sugar has dissolved. Remove saucepan from heat and add lemon juice--stir well. Pour entire mixture into a gallon pitcher. Add 7 cups of cold water--stir. Add ice cubes--stir. Taste--if too strong, add 1 more cup of cold water. If too sweet, add a bit more lemon juice. If too tart, add a bit more white sugar. Refrigerate until very cold.
