Ingredients
- 4 whole (medium-sized) Lemons
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 4 cups Cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lemon slices
- 4 sprigs (optional, for garnish) Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Roll each lemon on the counter using the palm of your hand to soften it, which makes it easier to juice.
Step 2
Slice the lemons in half and juice them using a juicer, straining out the seeds if necessary. You should yield about 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the warm water. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves, creating a simple syrup.
Step 4
In a large pitcher, mix the fresh lemon juice with the simple syrup.
Step 5
Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir well to combine.
Step 6
Sprinkle in the salt and stir until fully dissolved. Adjust the saltiness to taste if necessary.
Step 7
Add the ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the lemonade further.
Step 8
Pour the lemonade into individual glasses, garnishing each with a lemon slice and an optional sprig of fresh mint for an extra touch of freshness.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sweet and Salty Lemonade!
