About Brown Sugar Lemonade

Brown Sugar Lemonade is a variation of the classic lemonade. Just replace white sugar with dark brown sugar and voila, you have a totally different tasting drink ready. The use of brown sugar gives this lemonade a very earthy and deeper caramel-like flavor. I created this recipe accidentally. I wanted to drink lemonade but I was out of white sugar. On ransacking my pantry, I found a jar full of dark brown sugar, which I had stored for my baking recipes. So I used it in place of white sugar. It tasted quite good and I was super elated that I had invented a recipe and I must share it with you all because it tastes so yummy. But, when I started to write about it and do some more research, I found out that it was actually already a recipe that people have been making. While this recipe is not exactly not my invention, it is still very delicious and refreshing and you must definitely try it out. This lemonade with brown sugar is a perfect drink for hot, sunny days. You can also make it for your backyard parties, BBQs, brunches, or family gatherings.
