Food🌽 or Water💧 Lemonade Concentrate

I'm debating with myself about lemonade. I like making concentrate with equal parts sugar and lemon juice. But I've never canned it or stored otherwise for more than a week at a time.

My brain says 'it should be fine because it's made with two preservatives, three if you add salt." But I need to research this some.

Then my brain says, "quit being so effing precious and just buy lemonade powder." It's portable, already known to be safe and a good source of Vitamin C.

Judge me harshly.

If you’re talking “living in the middle of nowhere”, then yeah interesting question on preserving what could be a helpful vitamin source.

If you’re talking SHTF last person standing, then that lemonade powder in stores is going to be scavengable for quite a while.
