Ingredients
Method
- Heat the water and sugar in a pot to make a simple syrup. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Use a juicer to extract the juice from 5 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice.
- Add the juice to the simple syrup mixture. Add 3½ cups of cold water to dilute. Adjust to your desired taste by adding a little more lemon juice if you enjoy it less sweet. Sparkling water can be used if you prefer lemonade with a bit of a fizz.
- Serve chilled with a slice of lemon.
