Perfect Lemonade Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 3 cups Cold Water
Instructions
- Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir so that the sugar dissolves completely and remove from heat.
- While the water is heating for the simple syrup, juice your lemons. Depending on the size of the lemons, 4 to 6 of them should be enough for 1 cup of juice.
- Pour the juice and the simple syrup sugar water into a serving pitcher. Add 2 to 3 cups of cold water and taste. Add more water if you would like it to be more diluted (when you add ice, it will melt and naturally dilute the lemonade).
- If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it.
- Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes. Serve with ice and sliced lemons.
