Method

Preparation of Lemonade

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the fresh lemons on the countertop to loosen the juice. Cut them in half and juice each lemon using a citrus juicer or a fork to extract as much juice as possible. You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Making the Lemonade Base

    In a medium-sized pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Adding Water

    Pour in 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher with the lemon juice and sugar mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.

Blending with Ice

    Preparing the Ice

    Combining Lemonade and Ice

    Pour the prepared lemonade base over the crushed ice in the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy.
