STATE FAIR LEMONADE
I'm very excited to be showing you how to make real, authentic, vintage lemonade--the kind you might enjoy on a hot summer day at one of those stands at the state fair. Most of us make lemonade just out of lemon juice, but as you may know, the oils in the lemon peel contain a tremendous amount of flavor, and once you drink this, you won't want to go back to drinking it how you used to.

Steps:
- Wash lemons and peel off all the zest using a vegetable peeler. Set peeled lemons aside. Add the lemon zest to a bowl and cover with sugar. Toss to combine. Cover and let sit for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Bring water to a boil in a pot over high heat; turn off heat and pour in the lemon-sugar mixture. Stir and let sit until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Pour through a mesh strainer back into the same bowl and discard the zest. Let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Cut the lemons in half and squeeze into the bowl. Pour lemonade into a serving pitcher. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill thoroughly before serving over ice, at least 2 hours.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh lemons. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- To make the lemonade sweeter, add more sugar. You can also use honey or agave syrup instead of sugar.
- To make the lemonade more tart, add more lemon juice. You can also add a pinch of citric acid.
- To make the lemonade fizzy, add sparkling water instead of still water.
- To make the lemonade pink, add a few drops of grenadine or beet juice.
- You can garnish the lemonade with a lemon slice, a sprig of mint, or a cherry.
Conclusion:
Fresh squeezed pink lemonade is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a refreshing drink, give fresh squeezed pink lemonade a try.
