Equipment

  • A Measuring cup or a medium bowl
  • A Knife
  • Chopping or cutting board
  • A Juicer or citrus reamer, or stand mixer with the paddle attachment

Ingredients
  

  • 8 to 10 numbers of large lemons
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 to 1/2 quarts of water (which is nearly 6 cups)
  • Ice Cubes
  • Slices of Lemon for serving (this is optional)

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, squeeze all the lemons and remove all the pulp. Well, you can choose not to strain the pulp if you are alright with it. It has no effect on taste, but it is a matter of preference.
  • The best way to do this is to halve the lemons, then squeeze out the juice from the halves. You can do this with your hands or by taking the help of your favorite juicer or reamer. You will need a cup of lemon juice.
  • Now, mix the lemon juice thoroughly with the sugar in order to make a lemonade base.
  • Add some more sugar according to your taste preference to the strained lemon juice (or untrained lemon juice, as the case may be) and mix them together until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Now add the water to it and allow it to cool in the freezer. You may keep the lemonade base in a serving pitcher. Add the water and stir to combine it till you reach the taste preference.
  • It is optional, but you can let the lemonade chill for at least an hour before you serve.
  • It is advisable to serve with ice and lemon slices. However, it is optional to serve the lemonade with ice at the bottom and slices of lemon.
