@GTSN38 I appreciate your concern, stranger. I spread out the portions between a lot of family members so, while the recipe calls for a lot of sugar, it got divided out to something reasonable individually

Pro Tip: I've not tried this specific recipe (but definitely will) and one change I think will improve this is following the oily sugar process, instead of heating the water up to near boiling temp, keep the temperature below 110* F so that the quite volatile oils you've painstakingly waited 12 hours to extract are not possibly vaporized. Citronellol is the aromatic compound that is at stake here and my brewing experience has taught me that higher temp = potential for losing the the very oils you're attempting to capture. YMMV

Just got out of a two week long sub zero cold snap in MN... the high was 38f above today so we celebrated with a nice warm weather beverage, thanks for demystifying how easy this is to do Chef John!

This is a great recipe. I bought some organic lemons from my market and followed this recipe and it was awesome. I was raised on lemonade. My mom made several gallon jugs every July 4th from the lemons off our three trees when we lived in Florida. She would make two or three extra pitchers and pour them into ice trays and freeze them to make lemonade cubes to use as ice. The lemonade didn't get watered down then. She put blue food coloring in the lemonade, then a raspberry in each cube. Always got rave reviews from friends who came to our cook outs. I've kept this tradition going, and now my children are doing it, too. Can't wait to try it on friends at our church cook out this July 4th. Thanks, Chef John.

I just finished making it today. It's so good! I reduced the sugar by a little. There are some people who say it's too sour or bitter. Just make sure you follow the directions. I think people mess up where they don't let the oleo saccharum (lemon peels & sugar mixture) marinate for 12 hours. They also might mess up when they toss oleo saccharum into the boiling water. You should turn off the heat when the water boils. Then toss the peel sugar mixture. Quickly stir and strain immediately. Good luck on making this refreshing lemonade! :D

Thanks again Chef John! Your recipes never cease to amaze me! I let the zest/peels sit for the 12 hours. Only difference is I doubled recipe and added a juicing orange to all the lemons, because I had one laying around. Up until now, I was a typical ‘Simply Lemonade’ person and always had that in fridge. NO MORE! I already bought more lemons to make another batch! I’ve never tasted better lemonade. Thanks again!

This has eluded me for LIFE. I cannot thank you enough for elucidating the fact I was ruining all my endeavors by tossing peels.

Made this twice, first time letting the lemon peels rest for 2 hours and the second time overnight. The first try way great but the second was amazing! The extra time really helps to pull all the oils out but a couple hours is good for when you need lemonade the same day.

OMG!!!! This is what they made for homecoming at my church when I was a little kid. I'm 60 now so that was a loooong time ago LOL! Thanks Chef John. A trip back in time.

Thanks chef john. I have decided making this should be an easter tradition and am excited to make it. Edit to say I'm making this for the third time and it's so amazing, I enjoy the process of making it too. Thanks again Chef John this is one of my favorite recipes now.

You have just given me the answer to a dilemma that's been hounding me for years! I make my own candied peel every year to add to various Christmas recipes. The first step is to boil rind in sugar water. The rind is then removed, sprinkled with sugar and then dehydrated. I've always been bothered by what to do with all that simple syrup left in the pot. I've been cooking it down to a thick syrup and adding it to cocktails and my baking but now I know!! I'll make my lemon candied rind separately using your measures and make lemonade. Fabulous!!!!

Thank you so much!! As a kid I lived in the us for a couple of years and really loved lemonade- even when visiting later on I’d always had it for dinner at a restaurant bc I love it so much but I couldn’t get the real deal here in Germany.. I tried the recipe out today and immediately was thrown back into childhood memories because it is spot on! Thank you soooo much ☀️

I made this and it completely lives up to its billing. It tastes so much more lemony than regular lemonade without any extra sourness. The cooking process really draws the oil out of the zest for an incomparable flavor. I saved the zest, chopped it fine and had it on a halibut fillet, which was delicious as well.

This has become a staple in my repertoire. All my friends love it and I think it’s my favorite drink of all time.

I visited my friend in NC and made this for him. We laughed at how delicious it came out. Thank you so much.

I made a pitcher the way you demonstrated it on your video every week for three weeks.

I made some! Prepped the lemon rinds overnight & put it together this morning. It is the MOST DELICIOUS lemonade I’ve ever tasted! My family said they didn’t know lemonade could taste so good 😊

I’ve made this lemonade twice now and this method is a keeper. I believe that if you are going to try somebody’s recipe you should follow it as written at least for the first run or you really aren’t making their dish. The first time I followed the recipe 100% and found the end product just a touch too sweet. So as we were given permission to adjust the sugar, for the second pass I cut the sugar down to just a cup and that was just the ticket for my taste buds. I also added a couple tablespoons of vodka to see if might pull out a little more flavor. I couldn’t taste any difference so won’t bother next time. Thanks again Chef!

Once again thank you Chef John. Your humor is never lost on me. , You’re the best ! I made the watermelon al Fresca. Awesome possum ! The fam loved it. Yum !

Love this recipe- I like to lightly muddle the peels while they are in the sugar- I believe (but am not sure) that this helps release more lemon flavor.

Its blisteringly hot outside right now, this recipe is just what I needed

Thank you for this recipe. It's become a staple in my house since I came across this video. The cashiers at the supermarket now don't even blink when I put 12 lemons up on the conveyor belt because I make a double batch since my girlfriend and I go through it so fast.

Just made this today and it turned out AMAZING. truly worth the extra effort

Finally got around to making this today and you're right. I can never, ever go back. This has ruined all other lemonade for me. This is going to be a permanent fixture in my fridge this summer. I will also be making various Oleo Saccharum varieties for other kitchen uses and drink mixing. This stuff is amazing.

Just bought a bunch of lemons and it's the first day of a heat wave in the Bay Area. Great timing Chef John!

I don´t live in the US anymore, so I was really missing this lemonade, thanks so much!!!! I just made it and my family is amazed!

I absolutely love this recipe!! I’ve made it a dozen times now easily. I made a few minor changes (don’t freak out) 1. I will make a 4x batch because it goes fast in my house. 2. On said 4x batch, I add 1 orange and 1 lime. It just adds a little kick. Make it how you like. You are the master of your own lemonade!

Thanks, Chef John! I'm missing our great Minnesota get together this year.

This is basically how I make lemonade; can confirm: it's super good!

Thank you for this recipe Chef John and for making it so humorous!

I tried this, it works, it delivers a powerful lemon flavor. I'll definitely do this on a regular basis, thanks Chef John

Thank you Chef John. This is a Fantastic recipe!! I tried the same exact ratios to make limeade and it turned out to be perfect. You just need to strain the lime zests quickly before it becomes bitter. I'm now looking forward to an Horchata recipe!!

I did this with 3 oranges and a lemon. The amount of flavorfull product you get by putting the peels in sugar is amazing. And the colour!

I'm curious did it make it sweeter , I guess that could be an unknown. I haven't made it yet. A neighbor made this lemonade, she would use oranges and lime..yes sugar but I wonder if you can sweeten this naturally and some sugar too.. I'd swear she used honey. She'd have the lemonade and then do a lemonade tea with extra fruits. She would throw the rinds to float. Lol. Yes, I came from the meat n potato house and knew I wanted to live like The Lemonade House. In the late 60s. Lol

I tried this recipe.It was the best lemonade EVER. Thank you for sharing.

When life gives you lemons, make Chef John’s State Fair Lemonade. Then add vodka. And friends. Lots and lots of thirsty friends. You may need to dramatically upsize the batch of Lemonade, however. 🍋❤️

Wow! My husband declared this is the best lemonade he has ever had. Once again a home run thanks to Chef John. I need a lemon tree!

The color just shows how it probably tastes. Perfect.

Amazing flavour! Best lemonade ever! Great balance of sour, bitter and sweet! Many thanks for the recipe Chef John!

Oh man. I'll have to make this as a more concentrated lemon juice syrup to mix with seltzer.

how to do that ? just double the lemons, but half the water ? i want to have the concentrate ready in the fridge. lol it can be a base for all the lemonade recipe on the net.

@@RogerLiem If I had to guess, when you're making the oleo-saccharum, add it to just enough water to loosen it up into a simple syrup, then add the lemon juice when it cools. Or add lemon juice separately and mix before adding the seltzer! Not sure what the proportions on that would be per-glass though

@@RogerLiem From Martha Stewart Lemon simple syrup Ingredients: 2 cups sugar Zest of one lemon 3/4 cup lemon juice 2 cups water Heat sugar, zest, and 2 cups water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil. Pour through a fine sieve into a medium bowl; discard solids. Let cool completely. Stir in lemon juice. So the difference between chef John's recipe and simple syrup is the amount of zest, and amount of water. Plus letting the sugar/zest rest before heating with the water.

I love this video! Chef John's voiceover is so professional, friendly, and utterly charming! Can't wait to try this recipe this weekend.
