Homemade Lemonade Sweetened With Pure Maple Syrup

Miss G recently had her first ever lemonade stand and it goes without saying that we had to use the opportunity to make our own lemonade from scratch.  ☺

Because we try to stick to more natural sweeteners, we use pure maple syrup in place of the traditional simple syrup, and the lemonade turns out delicious!  {Honey works well too.}

Because customers obviously need options, we made both regular lemonade and pink lemonade and both were a hit {though the pink did sell out first}.

Here’s our {very large} recipe, but it can very easily be modified to make smaller batches…

Homemade Lemonade {Sweetened With Pure Maple Syrup}

• 2 1/4 cups of fresh-squeeze lemon juice (we include the pulp}
• 3/4 cup of pure maple syrup
• 7 cups of cold water

Stir the ingredients together and enjoy!

Homemade PINK Lemonade {Sweetened With Pure Maple Syrup}

• 2 1/4 cups of fresh-squeeze lemon juice (we include the pulp}
• 3/4 cup of pure maple syrup
• 7 cups of cold water

• 2 cups of fresh raspberries,
• 1 tablespoon of honey

Muddle  or process the raspberries with the honey until the mixture is fairly smooth.  Add the raspberry mixture into a large pitcher with the remaining ingredients.  Stir and enjoy!
