Lemonade Concentrate
Greg DuPree
The beauty of instant lemonade is that you can keep it around for ages. The obvious downside is that it’s nowhere near as delicious as the homemade version (and often full of artificial ingredients). Luckily, it’s easy to make a lemonade concentrate that you can store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Most lemonade recipes instruct you to make a concentrate that you then dilute with water and ice. For this storable version, you just make the concentrate part so you can and dilute it with water and ice whenever the mood strikes.
How to Make It
Step 1
Bring sugar and 1¼ cups water to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 2
Combine sugar syrup and lemon juice in an airtight container.
Step 3
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 5 months.
Step 4
To serve, mix 1 part syrup with 1 part water. Pour over ice.
Chef's Notes
Tip: For easy freezing, divide the syrup and freeze in 4 smaller containers.

I would freeze this in ice cube trays, then pour water over them.

Can you use Stevia instead of sugar?
