Lemonade

5 Quarts Cold Water
3 Cups Sugar
2 Tablespoons Citric Acid
2 Tablespoons Lemon Concentrate
2 Lemons, Sliced
Ice

This makes quite a bit and so when I make it, I use my punch bowl. Mix water, sugar citric acid and lemon concentrate together. Add sliced lemons. You can either add ice ahead of time or just put ice in each individual glass. If you put the ice in ahead of time, you may have to make a few adjustments after the ice melts. I try to make this recipe a few hours ahead of time so that the juice from the lemons has time to mix with the lemonade.

Citric acid can be hard to find. You need to get it from a pharmacist. Some pharmacies don't have it in stock but are happy to special order it with some notice. I have had the best luck finding citric acid in medicine shops and not the pharmacies that are located in stores.
