Homemade Lemonade


Homemade Lemonade

Last week the kids and I decided to make some homemade lemonade. The kids each squeezed three whole lemons, giving us a total of about 1 ¾ cups of lemon juice. The recipe that we tried said to use:
1C of lemon juice
1C sugar
5C water
When we tried this we all agreed = TOO SWEET!!

So we decided to modify the recipe a little, this time we tried:
1 3/4C lemon juice
1C sugar
5C water
This time = STILL TOO SWEET

The third time we tried it this way:
1 3/4C lemon juice
1C sugar
6C water
This time it was= SUPER YUMMY!!

The kids did everything except for cut the lemons on their own. It was great to see them predict what we needed to change to make the lemonade taste better. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!
