Lily-Rose: Kindergarten Cook is at it again! In this episode, Khloe and Lily master a cool, refreshing summer classic: Fresh Made Lemonade By The Glass.
Fresh Made Lemonade By The Glass
1 medium lemon
¾ cup water
1-2 tbsp sugar or to taste
Ice
Place the uncut lemon on the countertop or cutting board. Roll the lemon back and forth a few times, pressing down firmly with the palm of your hand.
Cut the lemon in half and, using your hand or a juice extractor, squeeze as much juice out as possible. A medium-sized lemon will yield approximately 3 tbsp of juice.
Pour lemon juice into a glass, passing it through a strainer or cheesecloth to catch seeds and pulp.
Add water and sugar to the glass. Stir to dissolve sugar.
Add ice and serve immediately.
1 serving, 60-100 calories per serving, depending on sugar usage

As the temperatures heat up and go higher and higher, I definitely enjoy a great glass of fresh lemonade! Great tip to roll the lemon to help prime the juices for easier extraction. I like a small bit of pulp in my lemonade, so perhaps squeezing by hand is the best method to yield these results? Then again, nobody wants seeds in their drinks, so using a strainer or a cheesecloth is probably the best way to ensure that seeds don’t end up in the lemonade!
I don’t have an answer for the pulp/seed problem but Khloe fishes out the seeds with her fingers! 😉
Thank you for sharing your recipe – Fresh Made Lemonade By The Glass. Lemonade is a great thirst quencher. The health benefits of lemons are amazing so its is one of my favorite choice for juice. A wonderful source of vitamin C and it prevents kidney stones. I would substitute sugar with honey for a healthier option.
I love honey in my lemonade and sometimes I mix it with iced tea. Making things like this at home gives up the ability to adjust them to our own tastes!
