I love fresh-squeezed lemonade more than any other drink. It’s just so delicious!
Here’s how I make mine…
Ingredients
- juice of six lemons
- 1 cup hot water (tap hot is fine)
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 cups ice water
That’s it!
Juice your lemons. I roll them on the counter first to make it easier to get all the juice out.
Add the sugar to the hot water and stir until dissolved. You may need to heat the water to get it all dissolved, but usually I don’t need to.
Add the ice water (with the ice) and the lemon juice.
Stir and enjoy!
If you want to get extra fancy you can add pureed strawberries, raspberries, or watermelon. Pureed blueberries would probably be good too, but I’ve never tried that.
It’s also fun to sugar the rim of your glass – especially if you use yellow or pink decorating sugar. 🙂
