01 - Squeeze the lemons thoroughly to obtain fresh juice, removing any seeds.

02 - In a large pitcher, combine lemon juice with sugar. Stir continuously until sugar completely dissolves.

03 - Pour cold water into the pitcher and mix well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.

05 - Pour into glasses over ice. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves if desired.

01 -

Takes literally ten minutes from cutting board to cup, faster than a trip to the corner store
That fresh squeezed brightness makes everything feel like a celebration, even a Tuesday afternoon

02 -

Sugar dissolves much faster in warm juice than cold, so mix it with the lemon first before adding water
The lemon flavor intensifies as it sits, so make it slightly less sweet than you think you want

03 -

Make the base concentrate without water and keep it in the fridge for instant lemonade all week
Room temperature lemons yield significantly more juice than cold ones straight from the fridge
