Martha Stewarts Extra Lemony Lemonade Recipes

LEMONADE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat sugar and 1 cup water over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves; remove from heat.
• Stir in lemon juice and 6 cups water. Strain, if desired, into a large container; refrigerate until cool, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve over ice.

THYME LEMONADE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, thyme, and 1 cup water to a boil; stir until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, gin (if using), and 6 cups cold water; strain into a large pitcher. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour (and up to 1 week). Serve over ice, garnished with thyme sprigs, if desired.

REFRESHING FROZEN LEMONADE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the lemon and orange juices with the lemongrass and set aside for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Add 4 cups of water, the sugar, and honey. Pour into a baking pan and freeze 1 to 2 hours.
• Using a fork, loosen the lemonade from the pan and return to the freezer for 20 minutes more.
• Scoop into the chilled bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. Spoon among 4 tall glasses and serve.

MINT LEMONADE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat. Let stand until completely cool.
• In a large pitcher half-filled with ice, add 2 cups water, lemon juice, simple syrup, mint, and lemon slices. Stir to combine. Serve over ice. Garnish with mint leaves and lemon slices.
