Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

2/3 cup sugar
2 quarts cold water
3 large lemons
Dash of vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar, 1/2 cup water, and a few pieces of lemon rind (yellow part only). Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
  • Squeeze lemons and combine juice with sugar syrup, vanilla, and remaining cold water.
  • Add ice and serve in tall glasses.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lemons: Use fresh, ripe lemons for the best flavor. Look for lemons that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, thin skin.
  • Wash the lemons thoroughly: Before juicing the lemons, wash them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
  • Use a citrus juicer: A citrus juicer is the easiest way to extract the juice from lemons. If you don't have a citrus juicer, you can also use a fork or a spoon to squeeze the juice out of the lemons.
  • Strain the lemonade: After juicing the lemons, strain the lemonade through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds.
  • Add sugar or honey to taste: Lemonade can be made with or without sugar. If you like your lemonade sweet, add sugar or honey to taste.
  • Serve chilled: Lemonade is best served chilled. You can either chill it in the refrigerator for several hours or serve it over ice.
