There's nothing like a tall glass of freshly-squeezed lemonade. A few ingredients is all that is needed to achieve this classic beverage.
Ingredients for lemonade:
1 cup organic pure cane sugar
1 cup water
8 small organic lemons or 5 large organic lemons
*If making strawberry lemonade you will also need 1 pint of organic strawberries
First, you want to make a simple syrup. Place the sugar and water in a small pot, stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer over a medium flame. Simmer for a few minutes, making sure all of the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a cutting board, cut lemons in half. Juice the lemons and pour the juice into a large pitcher. Add the simple syrup and 4 cups of cold water and stir.
If you want to make strawberry lemonade, hull the strawberries and place in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the strawberry puree into the pitcher of lemonade and stir.
Enjoy!
