Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups lemon juice from 5-6 lemons
- 3/4 - 1 cup granulated sugar or to taste
- 6 cups water
Instructions
- Squeeze fresh lemons until you have approximately 1.5 cups of lemon juice, ensuring that any seeds or pulp are discarded. Transfer the juice to a pitcher.
- Add granulated sugar to the lemon juice and stir until it completely dissolves.
- Pour water into the pitcher and stir everything together well. Taste and adjust the amount of sugar for your desired sweetness level if needed.
- Serve over ice.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. If you're using bottled juice, use 100% lemon juice, not from concentrate, for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste by starting with a small amount and adding more until it's as sweet as you like.
