ingredients are as follows:
a cup of water for making simple syrup, three-quarters to 1 cup of sugar (depending on the desired level of sweetness), a cup of lemon juice and three to four cups of refreshingly-cold water. If you notice, a 1:1 ratio relates all the ingredients except cold water. This particular recipe makes 6 cups of lemonade. If you will be using Meyer lemons, be sure to reduce the amount of sugar that you use as this kind of lemon has natural sweetness in it.
Start first by making sugar syrup (simple syrup). This is to ensure perfect dispersal of the sugar throughout hot water. This also prevents sugar from settling on the bottom of the pitcher.
Your estimated time for making homemade lemonade is about ten minutes.
Preparation Steps:
1. Dissolve the sugar completely by putting it together with the cup of water on a saucepan. Bring the mixture to the desired heat. Do not overcook.
2. Extract the lemon juice with a juicer. Set aside one cup of this.
3. In a pitcher, mix the simple syrup and the lemon juice together. Add cold water. Adjust the flavor according to desired lemon concentration and sweetness.
4. To enhance the appearance, put lemon slices and cube ice.
5. Put the pitcher inside the refrigerator and let the mixture cool there for at least 5 minutes.
6. Serve in transparent glasses.
