Description
Classic homemade lemonade using simple ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups fresh lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 cups cold water
- Ice
- Lemon slices, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir again.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Fill glasses with ice.
- Pour the lemonade over the ice and garnish with lemon slices, if desired.
Notes
- For a sweeter lemonade, add more sugar.
- For a tarter lemonade, add less sugar or more lemon juice.
- You can make a simple syrup by heating equal parts sugar and water until the sugar dissolves, then letting it cool. This helps the sugar dissolve more easily in the lemonade.
