Method
Preparing the Lemonade
Juicing the Lemons
Roll each lemon on the countertop with your palm to soften them. Cut each lemon in half and use a juicer to extract the juice into a measuring cup. Remove any seeds that may have fallen into the juice.
Dissolving the Sugar
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. This will create a simple syrup.
Mixing the Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the simple syrup, and 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine.
Adjusting to Taste
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or water as desired. Stir well again if adjustments are made.
Serving Suggestions
Chilling the Lemonade
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavor and chill it.
Garnishing
Before serving, add mint leaves and lemon slices to the pitcher for a refreshing garnish. You can also serve the lemonade in individual glasses with ice.
Serving
Pour the lemonade into glasses and enjoy your homestyle craft lemonade. Serve it cold for the best experience.
