Helpful Tips
- If you’re going to store the lemonade for longer than just a couple of hours, I suggest straining it and storing it in a container with a lid for up to 5 days. If the peels are left in the liquid for too long, they can cause it to start tasting bitter.
- Make sure if you use a hole punch that it’s at least 5/16” in size, which is a common size. This makes it just barely bigger than a straw, which is the perfect size.
- If you don’t have a hole punch, you can use a sharp knife and just make an X in the lid for your straw as well. I’m not going to lie, my husband just uses his drill. LOL So, use what you have on hand.
- If you like your lemonade sweeter, you can add more sugar, but definitely start with just the 3 tablespoons because you can always add more, but you can’t take any away.
State Fair Lemonade
Ingredients
- 2 Small Lemons
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ Cups Water
- Ice
Instructions
- Make sure the lemons are washed thoroughly.
- Quarter both lemons and place them in one of the containers.
- Muddle the lemons until you’ve gotten as much juice as possible out of them.
- Add the sugar to the container with the lemons and give it a little shake. The lemon juice helps dissolve the sugar.
- Fill the container ¾ of the way with ice and then add the water.
- Place the lid on, before making the hole in it, and shake it really well, combining all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Make a hole in the lid using a 5/16” hole punch, or by your preferred method, add a straw, and enjoy your fair lemonade!
