Old-Fashioned Lemonade

water

lemon juice (8 to 10 lemons)

sugar

Ice cube

Lemon slice,

Maraschino cherry with stem, if desired

Mix water, lemon juice and sugar in large pitcher until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until chilled if desired.

Serve lemonade over ice. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice and cherry.

This homemade lemonade recipe uses a quick, simple sugar syrup to ensure every drop is perfectly sweet without any grit at the bottom. It’s a tart, bright, and cooling old-school recipe that’s just as good at a backyard barbecue as it is on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Tart, Fresh Squeezed Old Fashioned Lemonade

lemon juice

Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring just to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until all sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear.

Fill a 2-quart pitcher with cold water to a depth of 2-3 inches. Add lemon juice and sugar syrup. Stir. Add enough water to fill the pitcher the remainder of the way. Serve over ice and store any remaining lemonade in the fridge.
