Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup + 3 cups water (divided)
1 vanilla bean (sliced open and seeds scraped)
1/2 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
Ice for serving

Steps:

  • Add the sugar and 1 cup water to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slice the vanilla bean open with a paring knife and scrape the "caviar" (seeds) from the bean and add to the saucepan along with the remaining whole bean. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to steam and the sugar has dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and set aside for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add remaining 3 cups water and lemon juice to a pitcher. Set a fine-mesh sieve over the pitcher and pour in the vanilla/sugar mixture. Discard solids.
  • Stir with a spoon and chill.
  • Fill individual glasses with ice and pour lemonade over the ice. Add a straw if desired and serve.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of vanilla bean. But I'm so glad I did! The lemonade was delicious and the vanilla bean flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
