Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice about 4-6 lemons
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • Ice optional, for serving
  • Lemon slices optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Pitcher – To mix and serve the lemonade
  • Juicer – To extract juice from the lemons

Method
 

  1. Juice the Lemons – Start by juicing your fresh lemons. You’ll need about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice for this recipe.
  2. Make the Simple Syrup – In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water with the sugar. Heat on medium until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and let it cool.

  4. Serve – Fill glasses with ice and pour the lemonade over. Garnish with lemon slices if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a sugar-free version, replace the sugar with stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
  • You can also try adding a mint sprig or fresh fruit like strawberries or raspberries to give the lemonade an extra twist.
  • Store leftover lemonade in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
