Ingredients
- 6 large Fresh lemons
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 7 cups Water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any wax or residue on the skin.
Step 2
Roll each lemon on a flat surface with your palm to help extract more juice.
Step 3
Slice the lemons in half and juice them using a juicer or manual citrus squeezer. You should extract about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Step 4
Strain the lemon juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp. Set aside.
Step 5
In a small pot, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved. This creates a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 6
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and the remaining 6 cups of cold water. Stir well to mix.
Step 7
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness or tartness if desired by adding more sugar or water.
Step 8
Add the ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the lemonade.
Step 9
Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 10
Serve the lemonade in glasses over additional ice cubes if preferred. Enjoy!
