State Fair Lemonade

July 27, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Every state fair we attend I make a B-line to the lemonade stand. There is nothing that compares to that savory big cup of lemonade full of chunky lemons and the absolute best lemonade ever. So throughout the summer I find myself craving this delicious fair treat, so I decided to make my own!

The true star here is marinating those lemon rinds in the sugar for 12 hours. This is the perfect key to success for creating the most perfect lemonade. So if it’s hot where you are or if you are just missing your fair favorite drink of choice, this recipe is for you.

State Fair Lemonade

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings: 8
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 7 Lemons
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 6 cups Cold Water

Method
 

  1. Wash lemons and peel lemon rinds with a potato peeler. Reserve lemons for later. Add lemon rinds and cover with sugar, stir to combine. Cover and let sit for 12 hours.
  2. Bring water to a boil. Once water is boiling, remove from heat and add lemon-sugar mixture. Stir and let sugar dissolve for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Pour through a strainer and back into the same bowl. Discard lemon rind. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  4. Cut lemons in half and squeeze juice into your pitcher of choice. Pour water mixture into pitcher to combine. Chill for at least two hours and serve over ice!
  5. Add sliced lemons to your glass for the full fair effect!

I used a retro pitcher and glass set for the extra added vintage effect. Make sure to serve your homemade lemonade over ice and garnish with a few lemon slices for the full fair effect. Enjoy!

Every year we plant A LOT of pumpkins to use in all our fall decorations. We plant them from seed and transplant to the garden. I can’t wait to see all of them this fall. 

Fall is 117 days away, but who’s counting! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Done and Done! You don’t have to tell me twice. Done and Done! You don’t have to tell me twice.  I have never felt bad for buying more vintage. 

💚 It reduces waste. Just think you are keeping those items out of landfills.

💚 One of a kind style, that is often made with high quality materials. Vintage lasts a lifetime. 

💚 Vintage can be cost effective (besides a few crazy thrift stores) and can sometimes have investment potential. I often believe this of my jadeite collection, many values have almost tripled. 

💚 Vintage pieces have history! They each tell a story and carry charm with them. 

Have I convinced you yet? Isn’t that jingle catchy!

Riding my bike in the summer growing up was the ul Riding my bike in the summer growing up was the ultimate freedom. We would ride to our friend’s houses, to the lake, and everywhere in between. 🚲 It’s the essence of summer fun! 

Each year I like to add a few decor pieces to vintage bikes to display around our farm. They bring me back to those childhood days of freedom. From flowers to patriotic decor, they each add a decorative flair to welcome summer. ❤️🚲❤️
