Lemonade Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on a countertop to soften them, then cut in half and juice them until you have 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Making the Sugar Syrup

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

  3. 3

    Mixing the Lemonade

    In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup, and 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine. Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar syrup if desired.

  4. 4

    Serving

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
