Homemade Lemonade using three ingredients {lemon, sugar and water} is so easy, yummy and refreshing. I recommend using unrefined organic cane sugar if you can, which offers additional potent nutrients. As for water, I usually boil the water first and then let it cool to the room temperature.
We call this type of water Liang Bai Kai {凉白开} in Chinese. All these make this best ever Homemade Lemonade.
Best Glass Bottles to hold Homemade Lemonade and more
I came across these 64 oz half gallon glass bottles when I was looking for glass pitchers with a lid to hold Liang Bai Kai {凉白开}. Since I couldn’t find one I like, I decided to give this bottle a try and so glad I did.
At a first glance, these bottles look like milk bottles, but they have bigger mouth which makes fill the bottle easier. They are super versatile. you can use it to store all kinds of homemade beverages.
How to make Lemonade at Home Easy & Yummy?
If you use these handy half gallon glass jar, 2 fresh lemons and 3/4 cup of cane sugar are all you need besides water to make a half gallon tasty lemonade at home.
Wash and rinse the lemon and then cut into halves. Slice a few thin slices of each half for the garnishing.
Squeeze the lemon juice using a hand juicer.
Fill the half gallon glass bottle with water, previously boiled and cooled preferred, to the shoulder area. Then pour some of the water from the glass to the hand juicer.
Use the water to rinse the juicer and aim to collect all the lemon juice. Pour the lemon juice/water back to the glass bottle. Repeat the rinse if you think there might be residual lemon juice in the juicer.
Add 3/4 cup of cane sugar to the glass bottle, and use a long chopstick to stir until the sugar is completely melted. Last but not least is to roll the previously cut thin lemon slices and insert into the bottle.
All done. Cap the lemonade bottle and store in the refrigerator to chill and then serve.
