Lemon Crush Ingredients

Method

Lemon Crush Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on a flat surface with your palm to release the juices. Cut them in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand.

  2. 2

    Make the Lemon Syrup

    In a medium saucepan, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, 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

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, pour the cooled lemon syrup, add the remaining 3 cups of water, and stir well to combine. Adjust sweetness to taste, adding more sugar if desired.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the lemon crush over the ice, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices.
