Ingredients

1 c. sugar (can reduce to 3/4 c.)

1 c. water

1 c. lemon juice

3-4 c. cold water

Preparation

  1. Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.

  2. While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice.

  3. Add the juice and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add 3 to 4 cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes. If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it.

Serve with ice, sliced lemons.
