This lemonade was absolutely delicious. Our lemon tree in the backyard had tons of lemons so we multiplied the recipe by 4 to make a full 2 pitchers and more. We did find, however, that the recipe takes a little more simple syrup and sugar than it actually calls for. No problem though, just do it by taste = Otherwise a perfect summer treat!

I work at a Country Club and we had a call for Fresh Squeezed Lemonade for a wedding reception, so I searched through recipes online to find one that wouldn't be too difficult. This one looked perfect! It also turned out perfect! I liked the idea of using the simple syrup instead of just mixing the sugar with the cold water! Very good recipe! (I like more than 1/2 the mixture of simple syrup in the lemonade though!
