Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on a flat surface to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and juice them until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds.

    Making the Sugar Syrup

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

  3. 3

    Combining Ingredients

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

  4. 4
