Health benefits of Homemade Lemonade

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

4 cups Sugar
6 cups Water
24 whole Lemons, Juiced
8 cups Water (additional)
Lots Of Ice!

Instructions

Heat 4 cups sugar with 6 cups of water in a medium saucepan until it's dissolved. Set this in the fridge to cool.
Chill the lemon juice if you have the time.
Pour the lemon juice into a large vat. Pour in 3/4 of the syrup, then top off the vat with ice. Pour in 8 cups of water (give or take), stir it around, then give it a taste. Add more syrup if it needs sweetness, or more water if it needs dilution.
Serve immediately!
Add 2 cups raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or sliced strawberries to the lemonade for different flavors.
Make hard lemonade by adding 2 cups light rum or tequila to the lemonade. (Naughty! Adults only!)
