To make lemonade concentrate you are going to have to start with a good lemonade recipe. Here is the thing about lemonade recipes. Lemons are not a one size fits all sort of thing. A mild meyer lemon will require twice as much juice as most lemons. And if you happen to get an especially tart lemon you will need more sugar.
The best base recipe comes from Mark Bittman
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar*
Combine all ingredients and serve over ice. Remember to adjust ingredients as needed.
When making lemonade to freeze only use one cup of water. When you are ready to serve add the other two cups. Freeze concentrate in quart freezer bags with instructions on how to reconstitute on the bag.
*I prefer to use a sugar syrup made by combining one cup sugar and one cup water. Heat in a sauce pan until sugar is dissolved. Use more syrup than you would sugar or to taste.

I never thought of making my own concentrate! Excellent idea :)
