Earlier this summer I threw a few lemonade concentrates into my grocery cart to make popsicles. The popsicles were delicious, but I wondered if I could make my own with ingredients I already had on hand, and maybe a tad healthier (no corn syrup). I think it ends up being a little cheaper too.
Here is my recipe, which I adjusted from several recipes I looked at online:
Easy Microwave Pink Lemonade
Add 3/4 cup sugar to 1 cup water in a microwave-safe container.
Microwave approximately 3 minutes until the sugar is dissolved, stirring after 1 or 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup lemon juice.
Add 3-4 cups water. Use 3 cups if you are going to be making popsicles, serving with a lot of ice, or just like tangy lemonade; use 4 cups for a more standard lemonade.
Add 4 drops red food coloring if you would like your lemonade to be pink. I did this because I had used rapadura sugar, which is brownish, and it gave the lemonade a dark color.
