Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon juice from 5-6 lemons
  • 1/2 cup sugar or to taste
  • 4 cups cold water

Instructions

  • Juice fresh lemons until you get about 1 cup of lemon juice, making sure to discard any seeds or pulp. Place juice in a pitcher.
  • Next, add granulated sugar to the lemon juice and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add water into the pitcher and stir. Taste and adjust the sugar to your desired sweetness. Serve over ice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. If using bottled, make sure it's 100% lemon juice, not from concentrate.
  • Adjust the sugar to your preferences. Start with less and add more until it reaches your desired sweetness.
