Healthy Lemonade

Recipe by Vintage Remedies

Many store bought lemonades contain artificial or highly processed sugars and other
ingredients - even artificial colors. This option is great for little ones but uses organic
sugar and real lemons. For younger ones, try watering it down or reducing the simple
syrup to 1/2 or 2/3 of a cup

.
1 cup simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar)
1 cup fresh lemon juice - about 8-10 large lemons

To make the simple syrup for this recipe, combine 2 cups water and sugar in a
saucepan. Bring to a boil and continue boiling until the sugar is dissolved (3-5 minutes).
This will need to cool for a while, but makes enough for 2 batches of lemonade, so you
will be all set next time. Store it in the fridge for 6-8 weeks.

To make the lemonade, stir all of the ingredients together with 3-5 cups of water (varies
depending on your personal preference) Serve chilled.

If you are trying to cut out soda in your life, I substitute sparkling water for the regular.
