How To Make Lemonade

Instructions

• To make lemonade you will need about 4-6 lemons. Before you begin squeezing the juice from the lemons, gently roll them on your counter-top. This will ensure you get more juice from the lemons. You can squeeze the juice from lemons by cutting them into halves.
• Then use a citrus press or squeeze the juice from the lemons with your hands. 4-6 lemons should yield about one cup lemon juice.Next prepare the sugar syrup. For this, take 2 cups sugar and combine it with one cup water in a big vessel.
• Bring this liquid mix to a boil and allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes. The syrup must turn thick once it is done. Allow the sugar syrup to cool for a while before you use it for making lemonade.
• To make lemonade combine a cup fresh lemon juice with one cup sugar syrup. Stir them well and then add about 3-4 cups cold water. Stir everything well so that the lemon juice mixes well with the sugar syrup.
• Your lemonade is ready to be chilled before you serve it. Refrigerate the lemonade for an hour. To serve the lemonade, take a tall glass and put ice cubes in it.Then pour the chilled lemonade over the ice cubes. Garnish with a sliced lemon and some fresh mint leaves.
• You can try many variations of the traditional lemonade by experimenting with your own flavors. Adding a splash of ginger juice makes lemonade taste unique and refreshing. Similarly, adding some cranberry juice will make your lemonade look colorful and also add a nice flavor to it.
