Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 lemon, ( sliced)
  • 1 ½ sugar
  • 8 cups water
  • 3 fresh lilac blossom heads

Instructions 

  • Juice the lemons
  • Remove any pulp and seeds from the juice
  • Set aside in the refrigerator
  • Place the lilacs in a bowl of cold water (just enough to cover)
  • Leave them overnight in the refrigerator
  • Heat 1 cup of water and the sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar is fully integrated.
  • Cool
  • Slice the lemon however you wish, and place it in the pitcher
  • Add the remaining ingredients (lilac, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and water.
  • Put ice cubes in cups and pour out.

Notes

** Taste test the lemonade. You can add more lemon if it’s not strong enough. The same goes for sugar.
If you make this the night before using, you can pour some of the lilac lemonade into an ice cube tray. In this form, you can pop them right into the pitcher with the lemonade, and it won’t become watery.
