The original recipe makes a TON, so I took it down by a quarter, and by a third (I'm a math major :-))
Original
2 quarts lemon juice
7 cups sugar
8 quarts water
Quarter recipe
2 cups lemon juice
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 quarts water
Third recipe
2 2/3 cups lemon juice
2 1/3 cups sugar
2 quarts + 2 2/3 cups water
The key is to squeeze lemons for fresh lemon juice. The pre-packaged stuff just doesn't cut it. It takes a little longer, but its totally worth it. I'll make 2 batches of the 1/4 recipe a week during the summer it goes so fast in this house.

Are you holding it hostage or are you willing to share?
I've been having 3-4 glasses a day of: Seltzer water/club soda/perrier with 1/2 a Meyer lemon squeezed in. No sugar added.
I'm in love with it.
Lemonade with raspberry vodka.....
Quickest way for DH to get lucky. I love it!

Oh, this makes me salivate.
I have never been more appreciative of someone's math skills!
I eat at chick-fil-a at least once a week, but I rarely order their lemonade because I suck it down so fast I never have enough to last while I eat.
