Here's a Lemonade recipe from my mother's 1950's Betty Crocker Cookbook.....worked in the 1950's and it's works today))) Enjoy! betty crocker first edition picture cook book Combine in a saucepan: 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of water Rind of 2 lemons, cut into pieces Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Boil about 7 minutes. Cool. Add: 1 cup lemon juice (5 to 6 lemons) 4 cups ice water Pour over ice in pitcher or tall glasses. Yields about 6 to 8 servings. Alterations: Minted Lemonade: Place bruised mint leaves in bottom of glasses before adding Lemonade. Garnish each glass with a sprig of mint. (If you grew up in the 50's, you might find this mint growing in your garden.))) Pink Lemonade: Add a little grenadine syrup. Pineapple Lemonade: Follow receipt above but use 1 qt water and 1 1/2 cups sugar for the syrup. Add 2 cups crushed pineapple with 1 1/2 cups of lemon juice. Garnish each glass with a sprig of mint. Serves 10. Limeade: Use lime juice instead of lemon. Add a little green food coloring if desired. Orangeade: In place of lemon juice, use 2 cups of orange juice and 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
