Ingredients:

– 4-6 Lemons
– 1 cup sugar
– 6 cups water
– Ice cubes
– Optional garnish: lemon slices and mint leaves

Instructions:

1. Choose the right lemons

The first step in lemonade is to choose the right lemons. Fresh, juicy, and large lemons work best for making lemonade. Make sure to choose lemons that are ripe, with a bright yellow color and a soft texture. Check that they are not too firm or hard as this indicates that they are not ripe yet. The lemons should also feel heavy and have a thin skin.

2. Squeeze the lemons

After selecting the lemons, cut them in half and extract the juice. Use a lemon squeezer to easily extract the juice or a handheld juicer. You can also use a fine mesh sieve to filter the pulp and seeds from the juice. Depending on the size of your lemons, 4-6 lemons should provide one cup of lemon juice.

3. Make the simple syrup

Next, you need to make the simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Stir the mixture on medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Once dissolved, remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

4. Mix the ingredients

In a pitcher, combine the lemon juice and the simple syrup mixture. Stir well to fully mix all the ingredients together. Add six cups of cold water and stir once again to fully combine the ingredients.

5. Add Ice and Garnish

Finally, add ice cubes to the pitcher to keep the lemonade cold. You can also add a few lemon slices and mint leaves as a garnish for extra flavor and decoration. And voilà, you have your freshly squeezed, homemade lemonade!

Tips and tricks:

– If you prefer sweeter lemonade, you can add more sugar to the simple syrup mixture.

– For a unique twist, you can add other fruits to your lemonade. Strawberry or raspberry puree can add a fruity twist to your lemonade.

– Don’t let the lemonade sit out for too long or it will lose its fresh taste. Keep it in the refrigerator to preserve its taste and freshness.

Conclusion:

Making lemonade at home is very easy and a fun activity to do with family and friends. It requires a few simple ingredients and minimal efforts. By following these easy steps, you will be able to enjoy freshly squeezed, homemade lemonade in no time. Sit back, relax and enjoy a glass of lemonade with your loved ones!
