How Do You Make Homemade Sparkling Lemonade?
Here’s how to make your own homemade sparkling lemonade for a refreshing summer drink for your family. This recipe is also great for summer parties. Start with 10 large, fresh lemons. Wash a couple of the lemons, and finely grate enough peel to make one tablespoon. Make sure you grate with a fine grater, so you get only the yellow part of the peel. Squeeze or juice the lemons to make a cup and a half of juice. In a large jar or other container with a tight-fitting lid, add lemon juice, the grated lemon peel, 1and ½ cups of sugar, and 1 and½ cups of hot water. Shake the jar until the sugar is completely dissolved in the liquid. Refrigerate your lemonade for at least an hour, until it’s cold enough to serve. When you’re ready to serve the lemonade, fill large pitcher half way with ice cubes. Pour the lemonade over the ice cubes, and add four cups of club soda.
