Nothing tastes better than freshly squeezed lemonade on a hot day! This recipe came from my mother-in-law Cheryl who is a great cook. It has the traditional lemons of course but also limes and oranges which make it so unique and tasty. I have added a grapefruit to the mix as well and it was awesome. With citrus so cheap right now, it’s the perfect time to dust off the juicer and whip yourself up a big cold pitcher of Fresh Lemonade!
Freshly Squeezed Lemonade
submitted by Brittany
5 lemons
5 limes
5 oranges
5-6 cups cold water
1 1/2 -3 cups sugar, to taste
Once you have juiced all the fruit, add the water and sugar to taste. It really depends on how sweet/tart the citrus are and how much juice you get out of them. Also it depends on how sweet you like your lemonade! (Mindy and Griff have made it with Splenda and they say it tasted great!)

This is right up my alley, I love orange juice, I drink oj like some people drink soda! This would be a real treat with the lemons,lime and oj!!!
This looks divine!! I love that it has so many different kinds of citrus! I love your pictures too Britt!
I ran right out and bought a juicer and all the citrus. I love it so yummy.
This sounds so good! I like the variation.
Wow…this looks so good and refreshing!
I really enjoy citrus juice and this blend sounds very, very good! Adding it to my list of summertime fun and healthy drinks for ME and the kids!!!
This is Griff and I’s favorite beverage! We have already borrowed Brittany’s juicer to make it twice just this season! I love it with a grapefruit, too. So good! We made it for mother’s day with splenda b/c Griff’s dad is diabetic, and it was great. We used one cup of splenda… that made it sweet, but just a little on the tart side (which is how we like it). PS Baba I love the picture of all the fruit!
This sounds so refreshing!
I am so making this ASAP! Thank you! This sounds perfect.
I made your pumpkin bars & cinnamon rolls, yesterday & posted about them on my blog with a link to your blog, I hope that's ok. They both turned out wonderful! Thank you for sharing so many great recipes!
Oh wow, I want the weather to heat up just so I have a good reason to make this!
That looks yummy! My kids (and I) would love this!
I’m going to the store tomorrow and buying the goods. I can’t wait to try it!
Brittany served this to me when I was visiting Utah. WOW. WOW. WOW. It was amazing. I can't wait to try it myself.
I made this with my kids the other day and they loved it as much as I did! Thanks for a great idea! I hope you don't mind if I post it on my blog too (with a good link to yours of course).
