Method

Preparing the Lemonade

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on a flat surface to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and use a juicer to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp.

  2. 2

    Making the Sugar Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  3. 3

    Mixing Everything Together

    In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, cooled sugar syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to combine.

Serving the Lemonade
