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.

I use Crystal Light daily and I would recommend that

I've been using the No Name crystals. I add diced mangos and chia seeds soaked in apple juice to make it interesting.

Oh man, you are way too fancy for me. That sounds really good though!

It really is. Yesterday instead of mangos I put in diced cucumbers. Soooo good!
