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.
