Lemonade is undoubtedly one of the most refreshing drinks one can have during the hot summer days. The good news is that it is not that hard to prepare; you just need a few ingredients and the right recipe. Whether you are planning a backyard barbecue or a picnic, a jug of freshly made lemonade can be the perfect addition. Here is how to make lemonade.

Ingredients

To make a perfect glass of lemonade, you will need:
– 6 to 8 medium-sized lemons
– 1 cup of granulated sugar
– 6 cups of water
– Ice cubes
– Slices of fresh lemons and mint leaves for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by juicing the lemons. You can use a lemon squeezer or simply use your hands. You need roughly 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.

2. In a saucepan, prepare your simple syrup. Mix the granulated sugar with 1 cup of water and heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Set aside to cool.

3. In a large jug, mix the lemon juice with 5 cups of water. Add the simple syrup to the lemon and water mixture and stir well.

4. Taste the lemonade and adjust the sugar and water levels according to your preference. If you want your lemonade sweeter, add more sugar.

5. Refrigerate the lemonade for at least an hour.

6. Before serving, add ice cubes to the jug and stir well. You can also add fresh mint leaves and lemon slices to garnish.

Tips

– Use fresh lemons. Squeezing fresh lemons provides the best flavor for lemonade.
