This homemade lemonade is so refreshing and is the perfect drink to have during the hot summer or any time of the year.
Homemade lemonade is so easy to make and even better if you have your own fresh lemons right of the tree to use. If not, no worries, store-bought lemons will work just fine. This recipe turns out perfect every time, it is pretty much fool proof!
And the best part is you only need three ingredients, sugar, water, and lemons, pretty awesome right? If I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get started!
Ingredients
8 to 10 medium lemons
8 cups of water 1.9L
1 3/4 cups of white granulated sugar 350g
Instructions
Begin by combining 1 cup of water with the sugar in a medium pot and heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it boils and the sugar dissolves completely. Remove the pot from the heat and allow the simple syrup to cool to room temp.
Juice the lemons with either a hand juicer or an electric one. Place the lemon juice and the room temp simple syrup, along with the remaining 7 cups of water in the fridge, and allow them to chill for 30 minutes to an hour.
Combine the simple syrup, lemon juice, and water in a large pitcher or beverage dispenser. Stir it with a long spoon. Add lemon slices and mint leaves if desired. Serve and enjoy!
