Lemonade Ingredients

Method

Lemonade Preparation

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on the counter to soften them. Cut the lemons in half and juice them into a measuring cup, removing any seeds.

  2. 2

    Making the Simple Syrup

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

  3. 3

    Mixing the Lemonade

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

  4. 4

    Serving

    Serve the lemonade over ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
