Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup lemon juice squeezed from 4-5 lemons
  • ⅔ cup sugar

Instructions

  • Mix together until sugar is dissolved, serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices.

Notes

SWEETNESS

If you like your lemonade really sweet, increase sugar to 1 cup. For me, this is the perfect balance of lemon flavor and sweetness.

MINTED LEMONADE

Bruise mint leaves in glasses before pouring in Summer Sweet Lemonade. Garnish with mint leaves.

LIMEADE

Substitute lime juice in the Summer Sweet Lemonade recipe above (will take about 10 limes) for the lemons and increase sugar to ¾ cup. Garnish with lime slices.

PINK LEMONADE

Add 2-3 drops of red food color.
