I remember a hot summer day a few years back when my friends and I decided to have a little cook-off. We were bored and needed a new way to enjoy lemonade, and someone jokingly suggested adding toasted marshmallows. We all laughed, but then… wait a minute, what if we did try it? And let me tell you something, that's how this recipe was born. A little quirky, a lot delicious, and perfect for those days when you just want something different. It's surprisingly simple. You make your usual lemonade, and then comes the fun part, toasting those marshmallows to golden-brown perfection. What does this mean for you? A drink that not only quenches your thirst but also makes you feel like you're sitting around a campfire, even if you're just on your porch.
This isn’t just another lemonade recipe; it's an experience. It's about taking something familiar and turning it into something extraordinary. It's about embracing the unexpected and finding joy in the simplest of things. The smoky notes of the toasted marshmallow meld seamlessly with the citrusy zing of the lemonade, crafting a drink that's both refreshing and comforting. Picture this: a warm summer evening, you're sitting outside, sipping on this lovely concoction, and enjoying the company of friends and family. Can life get better than that?

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- **Prepare the Lemonade:** Start by juicing about 6-8 fresh lemons. You'll want to aim for about 1 cup of lemon juice. This is where the magic begins!
- **Make Simple Syrup:** In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Let it cool completely. This step is crucial for that perfect sweetness.
- **Combine Lemon Juice and Syrup:** In a large pitcher, mix the lemon juice and cooled simple syrup. Add 4 cups of cold water. Stir well. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. Some folks like it sweeter, others prefer a little more tang.
- **Prepare Marshmallows:** Grab your favorite marshmallows. I personally love the jumbo ones for this. You can use a kitchen torch, grill, or even your oven's broiler to toast them.
- **Toast the Marshmallows:** If using a kitchen torch, carefully toast each marshmallow until it's golden brown and slightly charred on the outside. If using a grill, place marshmallows on skewers and rotate over the heat. If using a broiler, watch them closely to prevent burning. The key is to get that lovely toasted flavor without setting them on fire!
- **Add Toasted Marshmallows to Lemonade:** Gently place the toasted marshmallows into the pitcher of lemonade. You can leave them whole or cut them into smaller pieces, depending on your preference. Some of the marshmallow will melt into the lemonade, adding a subtle, smoky sweetness. Don't worry if it looks a little messy – that's part of the charm!
- **Chill and Serve:** Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold, garnished with a few extra toasted marshmallows on top. A lemon slice adds a nice touch too.
- **Enjoy!** This Lemonade with Toasted Marshmallow is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, the marshmallows might dissolve completely, but the flavor will still be amazing.
📝 Notes
- For a smokier flavor, use a culinary torch to toast the marshmallows.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup.
