Ingredients
Yield: 8 servings
- 1 1/2 cups freshly-squeezed lemon juice*
- 6 cups cold water
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey simple syrup, * or more to taste
Method
Squeeze the lemon juice. Take a citrus juicer to strain the fresh lemons (or you can squeeze out the juice by hand, discarding the seeds) until you yield 1 1/2 cups of juice.
Tip in sweetener and water. In a large pitcher, stir together the lemon juice, water and maple syrup (or honey simple syrup) until combined.
Make any adjustments. Give the lemonade a taste, and add in any extra lemon juice (for tartness), maple syrup (for sweetness), or water (to dilute the flavor a bit) if desired.
Plate over ice, garnished with an extra lemon slice and/or fresh herb sprig if you'd like. Or refrigerate in a sealed pitcher for up to 1 week.
