Nothing shouts “summer!” like a glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade on a sunny afternoon. And it must be fresh, nothing is worse than a dribble of synthetic preservative-laden lemon syrup stirred into room temperature tap water.
With the jacuzzi construction underway and visions of poolside afternoons reading our Kindle, we stirred up a pitcher of caustic, minimally diluted lemon juice, with a slim cut of sugar. Here’s how we do it:
- 3/4 cup of fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 4 cups of ice cold filtered water
- 2-3 tablespoons of sugar
Serves 3. Or in our case, plenty to taste test and serve over ice for the fabulous construction crew.
