Ingredients
Yield: 6 servings
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice (from about 5-7 lemons)
- 4 ½ cups cold water
- ice, for serving
- lemon slice or mint, for garnish
Method
Make the simple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Warm over medium, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Lift from heat and let cool.
Stir the lemonade. In a pitcher, stir together the lemon juice and 4 cups cold water. Gradually mix in the simple syrup, adding more to taste until the lemonade reaches your desired sweetness.
Adjust and serve. Tip in up to ½ cup more cold water if you’d like a lighter, less tart lemonade. Chill in the fridge or serve while it is hot over ice, garnished with lemon slices or mint if you’d like. Enjoy!
