Categories     Lemon     Lemon Juice     Summer     Drinks     Drink     Non-Alcoholic     Mint

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 9 lemons)
3 cups loosely packed mint leaves (from about 20 stems)
1 cup granulated sugar
4 cups still water
Ice cubes

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine the lemon juice, mint, sugar, and 1/2 cup of the water and blend until fully liquid. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the liquid and discarding the solids. In a pitcher, stir together the mint mixture and the remaining 3 1/2 cups water. Serve over ice cubes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lemons: Meyer lemons are sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons, making them a good choice for lemonade. If you're using regular lemons, you may want to add a little more sugar or honey.
  • Use filtered or spring water: Tap water can sometimes have a strange taste that can ruin your lemonade. If you can, use filtered or spring water instead.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilled ingredients will make your lemonade more refreshing. You can chill your lemons, water, and sugar or honey before making the lemonade.
  • Add other flavors: If you want to add some extra flavor to your lemonade, try adding some mint, basil, or berries. You could also add a splash of fruit juice, such as orange juice or grapefruit juice.
  • Make it ahead of time: Lemonade is a great make-ahead drink. You can make it up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just be sure to stir it well before serving.
