3 Ingredient Lemonade

HOMEMADE LEMONADE RECIPE INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (you can use the bottled juice too)

5 cups cold water

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 lemons, for garnish

Ice

Step 1

Combine lemon juice, water, and sugar into a large pitcher and stir until sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 2

Dump lemon slices onto the top of lemonade.

Step 3

Top with ice to keep it nice and cold.

HOW TO MAKE SIMPLE SYRUP (ALTERNATIVE METHOD)

If you prefer, you can make a simple syrup with the sugar and 1 cup of water by heating it over medium heat until it is completely dissolved. Then add the lemon juice and remainder of the water following this recipe. This ensures that you have no sugary grit in the lemonade. I do this when I have some extra time to make homemade lemonade, but it’s not a step that you must do.
