Ingredients :

• 
  

  6-8 large lemons 

  
  


• 
  

  200g granulated sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)

  
  


• 
  

  950ml cold water, plus more for serving

  
  


• 
  

  Ice, for serving

  
  


• 
  

  Optional garnishes: Lemon slices, fresh mint sprigs, or berries

  
  

Serves : 4-6

Cooks In : 10 minutes active - 30 minutes chilling

Difficulty : Very Easy

Preparation Method :

1. 
   

   Prepare the Lemons: Roll the lemons firmly on your countertop before slicing them in half. This helps to release more juice. Squeeze all the juice into a jug or bowl, making sure to remove any seeds. You should aim for about 400ml of juice.

   
   


2. 
   

   Make the Simple Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar with 1 cup of cold water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Don't let it boil. This creates a "simple syrup," which ensures your sugar dissolves perfectly into the cold lemonade without leaving a grainy texture. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. You can speed this up by placing the saucepan in an ice bath.

   
   


3. 
   

   Combine Ingredients: Once the simple syrup is cool, pour the fresh lemon juice into a large pitcher. Add the cooled simple syrup.

   
   


4. 
   

   Add Water & Chill: Stir in the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Taste and adjust for sweetness – if you prefer it sweeter, add a little more dissolved sugar; if too sweet, add a splash more water or lemon juice.

   
   


5. 
   

   Serve: Fill glasses with plenty of ice. Pour the homemade lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh lemon slices, mint sprigs, or a few berries if desired. Enjoy immediately!

   
   

Tips :

Cold is Key: Ensure your simple syrup is completely cooled before mixing it with the lemon juice and water. This prevents a cloudy lemonade and keeps it extra refreshing.
