State Fair Lemonade

What is the one beverage that every state fair has across the country? Actually every fair usually has this. Lemonade! Fresh squeezed lemonade. Peyton always has to have at least one big giant sipper of Minnesota State Fair Lemonade when we go.  It’s one of the first things she’ll hunt down as soon as we get through the gate. And since there is no Minnesota State Fair this year I decided to make her a whole pitcher of State Fair Lemonade!

I knew making fresh-squeezed lemonade would be easy but I didn’t think it was going to be this easy! It literally is super simple.

You will need the following –

2 C Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice (I used 5 large lemons)
4 C Cold Water
1 C Sugar
Ice

The most time-consuming part of this whole recipe is juicing the lemons.  I used about 5 large lemons to make this batch of lemonade.

First, I rolled the lemons before I sliced them in two. Then I took my manual juicer and juiced the lemons into a large measuring cup.

If you don’t like pulp in your lemonade this is the step to strain it. Otherwise, pick out any seeds that may have gotten into the juice.

Pour the 4 cups of ice-cold water, lemon juice, and sugar into a pitcher and stir.

Do a little taste test to see if it’s sweet enough. Depending on how tart your lemons are you may need less or more sugar.

Add the ice and let chill in the fridge for about an hour.

I think the lemonade tastes best if it’s chilled for a few hours. I feel it just brings out the lemon more the longer it sits.

However, you can make this and serve right away too.

It’s the perfect refreshing State Fair Lemonade. Tastes exactly like the lemonade we get every year at the Minnesota State Fair.

Be sure to check back daily as we will be posting a new Minnesota State Fair inspired recipe everyday this month!
