How to Make Lemonade
Description
The method for making lemonade involves combining freshly squeezed lemon juice with sugar to dissolve the sweetness thoroughly before adding filtered water. This ensures the sugar is well incorporated and the flavors blend evenly. The ratio of lemon juice to sugar and water can be adjusted to suit your preferred level of tartness or sweetness.
After mixing, chilling the lemonade thoroughly is important to develop a refreshing quality that contrasts well in warm weather. Serving the lemonade over ice with a lemon slice adds aesthetic appeal and a hint of extra citrus aroma.
Ingredients
- 1 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 Tbsp sugar adjust amount to taste
- 1 qt water filtered
Instructions
- Combine the lemon juice and sugar and stir well to dissolve the sugar. Then add the water and stir again. Taste to adjust the level of sugar to your liking.
- Chill the lemonade thoroughly before serving. Do not add ice at this point.
