Lemonade is a refreshing and delicious beverage, perfect for quenching your thirst on a hot summer day. Making homemade lemonade is incredibly easy and allows you to control the sweetness and flavor according to your taste preferences. In this simple guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to make the perfect homemade lemonade.

What ingredients do you need?

  • 6-8 fresh lemons
  • 1 cup of white sugar
  • 6 cups of cold water
  • Ice cubes for serving
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Step 1: Squeeze the lemons

Start by squeezing the lemons to extract their juice. Roll the lemons on a countertop to make them soft and easier to juice. Cut each lemon in half and use a lemon squeezer or your hands to squeeze out the juice. Aim for about 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Step 2: Prepare the simple syrup

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once dissolved, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool.

Step 3: Mix the lemon juice and simple syrup

In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the simple syrup. Stir well to ensure they are thoroughly mixed.

Step 4: Add cold water

Add 6 cups of cold water to the pitcher and give it another good stir. This will dilute the lemon juice and create a well-balanced lemonade flavor.

Step 5: Chill and serve

Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the lemonade to become nice and cold. When ready to serve, add ice cubes to individual glasses, pour in the homemade lemonade, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

There you have it! A simple guide to making homemade lemonade. Enjoy this delightful beverage and experiment with adding other flavors such as strawberries or herbs to create your own unique twist. Stay refreshed!
