Homemade Lemonade

Perfectly tart, a little bit sweet, deliciously refreshing on a steamy July afternoon. And dead easy to make too.

Lemonade recipe
¾ cup to 1 cup sugar (depending on how sweet you like your lemonade)
1 cup water
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (roughly 6 large lemons)
3 to 4 cups cold water

Heat the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium/low heat until the sugar dissolves in to the water, set aside to cool.

Juice the lemons until you get 1 cup of juice. Pour the lemon juice into a pitcher. I don’t like a lot of pulp, so I pour mine through a strainer.

Add the sugar water mixture (also called simple syrup) to the lemon juice, and then add the 3 to 4 cups cold water. Stick in the fridge to chill, and then enjoy!
