Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Fresh lemons
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax.
Slice the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer, straining out any seeds. You should end up with about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely. This will form a simple syrup.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the simple syrup cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Once cooled, stir the fresh lemon juice into the syrup until well combined.
Transfer the lemonade syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Allow it to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
To make lemonade, mix 2-3 tablespoons of the syrup with 1 cup of cold water. Adjust the amount of syrup to taste. Serve over ice and enjoy!
