03 Method

Step 1

Make "simple syrup": Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir so that the sugar dissolves completely and remove from heat.
Step 2

Juice the lemons: While the water is heating for the simple syrup, juice your lemons. Depending on the size of the lemons, 4 of them should be enough for one cup of juice.
Step 3

Combine lemon juice, simple syrup, water: Pour the juice and the simple syrup sugar water into a serving pitcher. Add 2 to 3 cups of cold water and taste. Add more water if you would like it to be more diluted.
