Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on a countertop to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and use a juicer to extract the juice. Measure out 1 cup of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Making the Sugar Syrup

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

  3. 3

    Mixing the Lemonade

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

  4. 4

    Adjusting the Taste

    Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar syrup if desired or more water to dilute it. Stir well after each adjustment.

  5. 5

    Serving the Lemonade

    Add ice cubes to the pitcher or directly to individual glasses. Garnish with mint leaves if using. Serve chilled and enjoy!
