What makes it lucky? 3 ingredients! Can't get much luckier.
7 lemons (should end up with 1.5 cups of juice, pulp)
1 3/4 cups sugar
8 cups water
Squeeze those lemons and get rid of the seeds. If you can do that all at one time that will save you a ton of time. I didn't and it took for...ever. Not that it wasn't worth it - this is sooooo good, but still....
Side note, if you don't have a juicer/squeezer thingy not to worry - use a beater from the hand mixer...but the seeds present an issue. Update: got myself a juicer and ooooh the ease!
Take 1.5 cup (of your 8 cups) of water and boil. Add sugar and mix well. You want a syrup although it isn't very thick. This dissolves the sugar really well and makes the lemonade awesome. Let it cool at least 20 minutes.
Mix the lemon juice, water and syrup. Chill. Enjoy.
That's all there is to it and it's the best darn lemonade. Summer or not it's so good. I tried some while it was still warm and was tempted to drink it all. So good.
Seemed like a lot of sugar to me but oh wow it was good. Might try with a little less but it was pretty fabulous so maybe just leave it alone. :)
