How to Make Icy Cold Lemonade Like the Lemonade from Your Childhood

Lemonade refreshes and hydrates you, and is especially enjoyable on a hot summer day. Sipping lemonade takes you back to your childhood when you played outside all day and your mother made you and your friends a nice, cold pitcher of lemonade. Homemade lemonade may be more refreshing than lemonade you can buy in a store, and offers a significant amount of Vitamin C. Quench your thirst with a batch of lemonade prepared with fresh lemons.

Instructions

1

Place 1 cup of water in a small saucepan on the stove. Add 1 cup of sugar and bring the water to a boil.

2

Reduce the heat under the saucepan to medium and stir the sugar-water until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the stove and let the water cool down.

3

Cut six lemons in half on a cutting board with a knife.

4

Juice the lemons using a hand juicer. Place a lemon on the juicer, and rotate it back and forth, twisting it with your wrist until juice has stopped coming from the lemon. Pour the lemon juice into a large pitcher.

5

Add 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher. Add the sugar-water to the pitcher. Stir all the ingredients together. Add a dozen ice cubes and serve your icy cold lemonade.
