Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Lemons
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Roll the lemons on a countertop to release their juices, then cut them in half and juice them into a bowl or measuring cup, ensuring you remove any seeds. You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely to form a simple syrup. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the simple syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir until well mixed.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, pour the lemonade over the ice, and stir gently.
Taste your lemonade and adjust as needed by adding more water if you'd like it less tart or sweet.
Serve chilled and garnish with lemon slices or mint leaves, if desired.
