How to Make Old Fashioned Homemade Lemonade Concentrate
- In a large, non-reactive bowl (glass or stainless steel), combine the sugar, lemon juice, water, citric acid, and tartaric acid.
- Pour boiling water over the mixture, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar and acids completely.
- Allow the mixture to steep, covered, overnight (at least 8 hours) at room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld and deepen.
- Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Slowly pour the lemonade mixture through the sieve to remove any solids.
- Transfer the strained concentrate to clean, sterilized bottles. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, mix 1 part concentrate with 3-5 parts cold water (adjust to your preferred sweetness and tartness).
