Hands down the best lemonade you’ll ever have is this Carnival Lemonade!
We have a lemon tree, so we get tons of lemons every year. I juice them all and put the juice in baggies in amounts for this recipe. Lay the baggies flat in the freezer so they take up less space.
This is by far my favorite lemonade and it only has 3 ingredients. I love recipes that don’t need a ton of ingredients to be good and this is definitely one of them.
I made this lemonade recipe for the Rice Krispies challenge, my team went with a lemonade stand! Check out the main Rice Krispies recipe, Stuffed Peanut Butter Pops.
Carnival Lemonade
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
2 tsps lemon zest
1 1/2 cups lemon juice
5 cups cold water
Combine sugar and boiling water over med-high heat until syrupy (you are making a simple syrup). Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Chill.
Thank you for sharing your recipe with me at Cast Party Wednesday. I hope you will come back tomorrow and share more of your recipes.
Thanks,
I hope to see you there!
I envy your lemon trees. All the more reason for me to move further south. I am putting that on my list of reasons to move. Thanks for the recipe, we will definately enjoy it.
Thanks for stopping by saving4six and for the “stumble”. I must confess I had to look up what it meant 🙂
Thanks Again

I make homemade lemonade, too, and it is a favorite of the kids at parties and picnics. But have you ever considered using a less refined sweetener than sugar? I use rapadura or sucanat and the flavor is more complex and it is healthier. The color is a little muddier, like tea, but it is fabulous.
I have never made my own lemonade! Yours looks delicious and so do your treats 🙂
Ack! The pictures aren’t up yet! 🙁
I couldn’t find the pictures 🙁
We have a lemon tree too. I never thought of adding the juice to the baggies to freeze. Brilliant! Off to vote for you.
