Steps:
- In a pitcher, stir the lime juice with the sugar and 1 1/2 cups water until the sugar has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Fresh is best, but I think Limonada still tastes good after a couple of days in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Place the quartered limes or lemons in the blender with 4 cups of water and sugar.
- Blend until the limes or lemon is completely pulverized, the mixture should be slightly foamy with a whitish color.
- Strain the lemonade and add the remaining 4 cups of water.
- Serve with or without ice based on individual preference.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor and aroma to your limonada. Choose lemons that are ripe and juicy, with a bright yellow color and smooth skin.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking: The amount of sugar or sweetener you add to your limonada is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and taste-test as you go, adding more if needed.
- Use filtered or cold water: Filtered or cold water will help to create a refreshing and flavorful limonada. Avoid using tap water, as the minerals and impurities can affect the taste of your drink.
- Chill your limonada before serving: Chilling your limonada before serving will make it even more refreshing and enjoyable. You can chill it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
- Garnish your limonada with fresh herbs or fruit: Fresh herbs like mint or basil, or slices of fruit like strawberries or cucumber, can add a pop of color and flavor to your limonada.
