Fresh-Squeezed Lemonade
Such a great way to appreciate the little things in life - things like pretty yellow lemons and summery pitchers of cool, refreshing beverages.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (appx 2 large lemons), strained
- ½ cup sugar
- ice
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- For best results, mix the sugar with ½ cup of water. Microwave for 1 minute, and then stir well until the sugar is dissolved to make a simple syrup.
- Fill a 2 qt. pitcher halfway with ice. Add lemon juice. Then add the simple syrup. Finally add 3 1/2 cup water. Stir well.
Notes
Consider blending your drink for a tasty frozen lemonade.
For a special touch, garnish your drink with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.
