    Dunno. But the best lemonade comes from making oleosaccharum from the peels, and using that as your sugar base.

      Sliced lemons and limes, 1:1 with sugar. Little splash of gran mariner. Keeps for months, grab out a spoonful when you need it.

        Sounds kino. Also, mixes well with herbal bitters.

          Koreans call it cheong. I use it as bottle fuel for kombucha. Works with every fruit I've tried. I've got raspberries blackberries and cherries going right now as well. Leave em unrefrigerated for a few days while the sugar pulls all the liquid it can.

          Of course. Slice, remove seeds and blemishes, weigh fruit, add equal weight in sugar, wait a few days and stir occasionally to get all the sugar dissolved, then fridge. Gran mariner is optional but I like the taste and I think a little alcohol keeps it more sterile. I use tequila if I'm only doing a jar of limes. Wahla, instant lemonade syrup. Use as much as you deem necessary.

    After zesting my lemons I toss the zest in a bowl of sugar equal by weight to the tested lemons. I let the sugar extract the lemon oils from the zest for about 24 hours before juicing the lemons, adding the zest and sugar, and bringing it to a boil until I have a nice simple syrup. I then water bath can it for 10 minutes and let it cool. When I need lemonade I dilute the syrup with however much water I prefer. Usually it's a 1:4 which is convenient since I do large batches with quart jars which makes a gallon. So.

    1:1 by weight of zested lemons to sugar
    1:4 lemon syrup to water

    Yes. The making of the syrup is inferior as the boiling and canning of the lemon juice does hurt the flavor. But I am left with still very good stuff that's nice and shelf stable for a few years.

    Sugarcane juice is so much better than any lemonade, but if you add a few drops worth of lemonade to sugarcane juice, the result is much better than plain sugarcane juice
