When life gives you lemons, there’s nothing quite as refreshing as a glass of homemade lemonade. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up the perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavors. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to make the best lemonade on the block!

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

The first step in making the perfect lemonade is gathering all the necessary ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 6-8 fresh lemons
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 6 cups of water
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Step 2: Squeeze the Lemons

Next, it’s time to squeeze the lemons to extract their delicious juice. Roll each lemon on the countertop to soften it, then cut them in half. Use a juicer or simply squeeze the lemons by hand into a bowl. Aim to get around 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.

Step 3: Mix the Lemon Juice and Sugar

In a pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and sugar. Stir well until the sugar has fully dissolved into the juice. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to taste, depending on how sweet or tart you like your lemonade.

Step 4: Add Water and Chill

Once the sugar is fully dissolved, add the water to the pitcher. Stir again to mix all the ingredients together. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. Chilled lemonade is always more refreshing!

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

When the lemonade is properly chilled, it’s ready to be served. Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over them. You can also garnish each glass with a lemon slice for an extra touch of citrusy goodness. Sip and enjoy!

Pro Tips for the Perfect Lemonade

  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a handful of fresh mint leaves or a few slices of ripe strawberries to the pitcher.
  • If you prefer a fizzy lemonade, substitute some of the water with sparkling water or soda.
  • Experiment with different sweeteners like honey or agave syrup for a healthier twist on traditional lemonade.

There you have it—your guide to making the perfect homemade lemonade. Enjoy this classic summer beverage and impress your friends and family with your lemon-squeezing skills!
