Why grandma's recipe? After reading it on the American blog, I realized that our grandmothers are still in some way very similar to the American ones, just the latter had much more field for activity and tools. My grandmother also made a similar lemonade very often for me and my younger sisters. She didn't know what rosemary and gin were, but the lemonade was still delicious!

So, let's start with a standard lemonade, which may remind many of the taste of childhood.

Squeeze the juice out of 6 lemons, take out the finally cooled syrup from the refrigerator, filter it (to remove the zest) and mix with lemon juice.

You can dilute the resulting concentrated drink with water or unsalted mineral water with gas, you can add ice.

There can be quite a few variations of this simple lemonade and everything is just as simple. You can mix lemon juice with other citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruits, limes) in any proportion. I really love the taste and smell of cinnamon and vanilla, so when cooking the syrup, you can add a small stick of cinnamon (or a pinch in powder form), a small piece of vanilla pod, or diversify the taste of lemonade with a spicy lime zest.

When serving, the lemonade can be garnished with a slice of lemon or orange, fresh mint leaves, or a sprig of rosemary, whose coniferous flavor adds spice. By the way, you can make "lemonade for adults" by adding a little gin to the rosemary, and a drop of any citrus liqueur to the mint.

I got syrup + juice = liter. If diluted with water to taste, then lemonade turns out to be about 3 liters - quite enough for a small company:)
