Fair and Amusement Park Lemonade Question

[OISU8P]

I love the lemonade I get at fairs and amusement parks. This is the lemonade that they squeeze half a lemon into a glass with sugar and mix some water. I have never seen the actual measurement of sugar though. Has anyone here ever worked the lemonade stand and know the ratio used (such as Tbs Sugar / 12 Ounces of water)?

 

I am planting a lemon tree in the next couple of weeks and looking forward to making some great lemonade this spring.

Hot Dog On A Stick uses 1 pound of sugar per gallon. They also throw in 1 ounce of pure citric acid per gallon. ta da!
