Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole lemons
- 150 grams caster sugar (superfine sugar)
- 1000 milliliters cold sparkling water
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 4 slices lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the lemons thoroughly under running water.
Roll the lemons on a flat surface while pressing gently to release their juices.
Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer. Strain the juice into a large pitcher to remove any seeds or pulp.
Add the caster sugar to the lemon juice. Stir vigorously with a long spoon until the sugar completely dissolves.
Pour the cold sparkling water into the lemon-sugar mixture and stir gently to combine. Be careful not to over-stir, as this may reduce the carbonation.
Place the ice cubes into serving glasses, filling each one about halfway.
Pour the lemonade into the glasses over the ice cubes.
Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf and a lemon slice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fizzy, refreshing Lemonade Aussie Style!
