I'm posting this because the restaurant is gone and this is some of the best lemonade I've ever had. You're welcome.

Miss Aimee B's Special Lemonade Ingredients 2 Medium Lemons 1 1/2 Cups Sugar 1 pint milk (2 cups) To Serve: club soda, ice Wash the lemons, cut off the ends, and quarter them. Hand squeeze the juice from the lemons into a bowl. In either a blender or food processor, coarsely chop the lemons. DO NOT PUREE! Add the coarsely chopped lemons to the bowl with the juice. Next add the sugar, stir well, and let the mixture set for 30 minutes. This allows the sugar to pull the juices out of the lemons. Finally, add the 2 cups milk. Stir well again. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. To serve, strain the concentrate to remove the rinds and seeds. Fill a glass with 1/2 cup lemonade mix, 1/2 cup club soda, and 1/2 cup crushed ice. Stir well. SERVES SIX. Optional: 1/2 shot vodka or gin

Doesn’t the milk curdle?

Good question. It doesn’t! I think you have to use whole milk, though. I have made it a few times and never had it curdle. Admittedly it’s been a while, so if I’m wrong I’m gonna blame modern milk.
