Equipment

• lemon juicer
• ice cream scoop

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup sugar
• 8 cups water
• 2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice approximately 12-14 lemons
• 2 quarts vanilla ice cream
• whipping cream optional

Instructions

• To make the simple syrup, use a small sauce pan and combine the sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer until the sugar dissolves and then remove from heat. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• In a large pitcher or beverage dispenser, stir together the remaining water, cooled simple syrup and lemon juice.
• Place a couple of scoops of ice cream in a large cup or mason jar. Fill with lemonade and stir

Alternative Lemonade Float Methods

Use Pre-Made Lemonade

If you don’t have time to make your own lemonade, you can always just use store bought lemonade or lemonade mixes. Store bought lemonade can sometimes be quite sweet, so you may want to water it down a bit. If you’re making lemonade from the mix, you can also try using just a little less of the mix so it’s not as sweet. To give the pre-made drinks a little bit of a more authentic flavor, try squeezing the juice of 1 or 2 lemons into it.

Try Pink Lemonade

Using pink lemonade adds a pretty pink touch to your drink and often has a slightly fruitier flavor. Depending on the brand, it may be flavored with cranberry juice, raspberry juice or crushed strawberries.

Add some other fruit flavored syrups.
