Perfect! It took 4 regular size lemons to make about a cup and a half juice. Just the right amount of tart and sweet. Thank you!

The perfect drink for a hot summer's day. I had just zested a bunch of lemons and wanted to use the juice, this recipe really came in handy. We like our lemonade sweet so I added another 1/4 cup of sugar. To help it dissolve easier I used room temperature water and then stored the lemonade in the fridge for a few hours before we drank it. I also added a few sprigs of mint to the second batch, very refreshing!

This was so simple to make. A hint to get the most juice from your lemons, roll them on the counter top for a while and then squeeze. I also cut up two limes and added them to the pitcher of lemonade. Fantastic drink. Very refreshing.

We use less water (5 ½ cups) and less sugar (3/4 cup) for a tarter lemonade. Delicious!

I made this recipe for our Fathers Day cookout. It proved to be very refreshing for the heat and humidity of the day. I used granulated Splenda instead of sugar. Worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing.

This was a perfect sugar to lemon juice ratio. (I like it tart, too.) I dissolved the sugar in about one cup of warm water before adding it to the other ingredients and then let it cool in the fridge for an hour before serving it.

It is a real treat to have REAL lemonade. I used the lemon to water ratio but cut the sweet way back - I used 3 tbsp Splenda - Lovely and tart just the way I like it! Thanks Di for a cool drink on a super hot day

This really hit the spot when I got a late night craving for lemonade (and no, I'm not expecting!) It was quick, easy, & very tasty. took about 4 large lemons to get the 1 1/2 cups of juice required. Thanks, DiB!

Really good base recipe and very easy to adjust. We added slightly less sugar (about 3/4 cup total). We found that we preferred this with about an extra cup of water. This may be because I did not use fresh lemon juice, but used bottled (100% juice, no preservatives, organic...so it was still good! Not salty-tasting like the RealLemon brand.) which may have been a bit more acidic. Great basic recipe, though and easy to tinker with to taste.
