- 4 cups of purified water
- 1 cup of vibrant lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1/2 cup of fine granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of honey for added sweetness
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to enhance flavor
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
You’ll need a few essentials for this task:
A jar or pitcher for mixing.
A measuring cup for accuracy.
A juicer or citrus press to squeeze those lemons.
A whisk or spoon for stirring.
Lastly, grab some ice cubes—lots of them!
Step 2: Squeeze the Lemons
Start by washing your lemons. Fresh lemons will yield the best juice. Cut them in half, and get your juicer ready. If you don’t have a juicer, don’t fret! You can use a fork to extract juice by twisting it into the lemon halves. Aim for about 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Step 3: Combine the Ingredients
In your jar or pitcher, combine the purified water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, honey, and sea salt. Use a whisk or spoon to mix everything well. Make sure the sugar dissolves completely. This could take a couple of minutes. If you don’t dissolve the sugar properly, you might end up with a gritty lemonade.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Once mixed, taste your lemonade. You can adjust the sweetness if needed. Add more honey or sugar based on your preference. Afterward, pour the lemonade over ice, grab a glass, and enjoy!
Step 5: Garnish (Optional)
- Choose the Right Lemons: Look for lemons that feel heavy for their size. This indicates juiciness!
- Chill Your Water: Using cold water is key. It allows the ingredients to meld together without waiting too long.
- Make It Ahead: Prepare this lemonade a day in advance. It gives flavors time to enhance each other.
- Adjust to Taste: Taste often while mixing. Personal preference varies, so hone it to your liking.
- Experiment with Flavors: Have fun adding seasonal fruit like strawberries or blueberries.
