Enjoying a cup of State Fair Lemonade has never been easier (or cheaper)! Make a glass of this classic fair drink right at home with only 3 simple ingredients!
Wash lemons(2 large). Cut each lemon in half, then cut each half into 4 pieces (8 slices each).
In a large cup or plastic container, add lemon slices and granulated sugar (3 tablespoons).
Use a metal measuring cup, muddler, or tool to squeeze the lemon juice out of the slices and mix with the sugar.
Add the hot water(¼ cup) and mix together until dissolved.
Add in cold water(1 cup) and ice and shake until combined. For a sweeter drink, add more sugar. For lemons that are more tart, you may need to add a little more sugar.
Notes
*State fair lemonade is delicious because it's so deliciously sweet, but feel free to cut back the sugar for a more tart flavor.
