Ingredients

6 whole Fresh lemons
2 cups Granulated sugar
1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax.

Step 2

Slice the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer, straining out any seeds. You should end up with about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.

Step 4

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely. This will form a simple syrup.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the simple syrup cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Once cooled, stir the fresh lemon juice into the syrup until well combined.

Step 7

Transfer the lemonade syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Allow it to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.

Step 8

To make lemonade, mix 2-3 tablespoons of the syrup with 1 cup of cold water. Adjust the amount of syrup to taste. Serve over ice and enjoy!
