When you have lemonade how do you make it or what do you use? Do you use frozen, a powdered mix or fresh lemons. I prefer the frozen. The powdered is okay but when I have had lemonade made from fresh lemons I think it's hard to decide how much sugar to put in to make it taste just right. So how do you make your lemonade?

I use Crystal Light powdered lemonade mix. It's so easy to fix and I love the taste. Sometimes I buy pink lemonade mix and other times plain lemonade. It's a great drink if you are dieting also. I make a big pitcher for myself and sip it all week since my husband doesn't like it.

I like the frozen lemonade. I make lemon iced tea from the powder. I love to slice fresh lemons into my lemonade or tea when I put it into the frig in a pitcher...then I sometimes add a slice to each glass when I serve it. It is getting to be that time of the year again. I will have to make sure I have lemonade, lemons and ice cubes on hand...lookin forward to the nice weather....finally.

I cheat and just buy it in bottles, I prefer the traditional lemonade but will buy the other one. I have to admit I have never attempted to make myself. Well done you for making your own. I bet it tastes delightful and refreshing. Ellie :D

i prefer lemonade made from fresh lemons. i think it's healthier than the frozen or the powdered mix. for food in general, the lesser the process the better the product.

I do not make lemonade that often. I usually go for the powder when I do. It's usually an impulse buy because it looks good and I go for quick and easy. I most often have the bottled lemonade from the convenience store- that's is probably what I buy most, because it i shot and I am thirsty and i don't want soda.

I never make leomonade from scrach or from a frozen can. My kids like lemonade so I buy them the cans of Minute Maid lemonade made by coca cola just put the cans in the fridge and let them get cold and it is ready to go. I don't drink lemonade I have never cared for it that well.
