Homemade Lemonade
Ingredients
- 1 cup Italian Volcano lemon juice
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will create a simple syrup.
- Remove the simple syrup from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a pitcher, combine the Italian Volcano lemon juice with the remaining 3 cups of cold water.
- Once the simple syrup has cooled, add it to the pitcher with the Italian Volcano lemon juice and water mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
- Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lemonade over the ice.
- Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
- Stir the lemonade before serving, as the sugar may settle at the bottom of the pitcher.
