Yield Makes 6 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 lemons, trimmed, halved crosswise, and seeded
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped, pod reserved
1 1/2 to 2 cups club soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place lemons, cut side up, in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet or a large baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar, then add the water and vanilla seeds and pod. Roast until edges of lemons are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool.
  • Squeeze the juice and pulp from lemons into a blender. Remove vanilla pod, and add syrup in the skillet to the blender. Puree, then strain through a sieve into a pitcher, pressing to extract liquid and some pulp.
  • Fill glasses with ice. Pour 3/4 cup lemonade into each glass. Top with 1/4 cup club soda. (Or cover, and refrigerate lemonade for up to 3 days.)

This lemonade is so easy to make and so refreshing! I love that I can make it ahead of time and have it on hand for a quick and easy drink.

I didn't have any vanilla beans on hand, so I substituted vanilla extract. The lemonade still turned out great!

This lemonade was a great way to cool down on a hot summer day. The vanilla and lemon flavors were perfectly balanced, and the sparkling water added a nice touch of fizz.

This is the best lemonade I've ever had! The roasted lemons add a depth of flavor that is unmatched by any other lemonade recipe.

I found that the lemonade was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or adding some tartness with a squeeze of lime.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but the results are worth it. The roasted lemons give the lemonade a smoky, caramelized flavor that is truly unique.

Loved the subtle vanilla flavor in this lemonade. It was a refreshing change from the usual tartness of lemon.
