Pink Lemonade Recipe

1. Start by washing the fresh lemons under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticides.

2. Cut the lemons in half and juice them until you have 1 cup of lemon juice. You can use a citrus juicer or squeeze by hand.

3. In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh lemon juice and granulated sugar.

4. Add 1 cup of water to the saucepan and stir over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.

5. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool.

6. Mixing the Lemonade

In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lemon-sugar mixture with the remaining 3 cups of water and 1 cup of cranberry juice.

7. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

8. Chill and Serve

For best results, refrigerate the pink lemonade for at least 30 minutes before serving.

9. Serve the lemonade over ice in glasses, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices if desired.
