“This is a very refreshing drink!”
Well, the problem is that if you just stir all of these together the sugar will sink to the bottom.
So the best way to make lemonade is to make a simple syrup first, by heating water and sugar together until the sugar is completely dissolved, and then mix that with the lemon juice.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups white sugar
- 8 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups lemon juice
Directions
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups water.
