About the best lemonade recipe

There’s nothing quite like a cold glass of lemonade. And what could make lemonade even better? Making flavored lemonade with your kids! This fun and easy recipe is perfect for kids and adults.

Nothing is more refreshing than having a cold drink waiting for you as soon as you get home. And it’s even better when you have a whole beverage center with tons of cold and refreshing options waiting for you.

But I never thought about including homemade beverage options until I saw my kids grab a can of soda every day after school. That is when it struck me, and I had the best idea to make homemade lemonade ready for them to grab.

Best lemonade ingredients

There are a lot of great recipes for lemonade out there. Still, my personal favorite is this one:

Fresh lemon juice. The best lemons for lemonade are the ripest and have the most juice.
You can use cane sugar, honey, or your favorite sweetener. I use cane sugar because it is the best for making simple syrup.

How to make simple syrup? 

1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. 

In a small saucepan, heat sugar and water over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved. 

Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Store in a sealed container in the fridge.

A wooden board holds whole and halved lemons alongside a citrus reamer and a bowl of granulated sugar, set on a light surface. Lemons abound, evoking the preparation of flavored lemonade or ingredients for crafting the best family lemonade recipe.

A tall glass pitcher filled with pale yellow, flavored lemonade stands on a white surface. Surrounding the pitcher are several halved lemons, both squeezed and unsqueezed, a wooden citrus reamer, and a wooden spoon, creating a simple and fresh setting.

How to make the best lemonade

Combine lemon juice, simple syrup, and water in a pitcher and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Stir until well combined.

A person drinks from a clear glass bottle using a straw. The bottle contains water, visible blueberries, and hints of flavored lemonade. The person has long brown hair and wears a black top, holding the bottle with both hands. The bottle has a clip top with a white stopper.

A person is placing a bowl of blueberries on a blue and white patterned tray atop a black cabinet. In the other hand, they hold a small glass bottle filled with flavored lemonade. Nearby, a framed picture and a container of colorful straws suggest preparations for family drinks.

So what's the key to healthy, full of nutrients flavored lemondade?

The trick is to have your lemonade ready to go, and then, add fruits with the colors of the rainbow to the lemonade, making it fun and attractive for your kids. I let my kids decide which fruit they want to add. 

I always have washed blueberries, raspberries, chopped kiwi, or mango for them, ready to flavor their lemonade. 

The combinations are endless, but here are some of their favorites: raspberry lemonade, blueberry lemonade, watermelon lemonade, cucumber lemonade, mango lemonade, or even papaya lemonade for a bright orange color.
