6 cups water (divided)

| Classic Lemonade at Home/ Lemon Juice |
Instructions:
Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Place over medium-low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside, letting it cool for 10 minutes.
Pour 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice into a pitcher. Add the sugar/water mixture (simple syrup), then the remaining 5 cups of water and mix well. Serve over ice, or refrigerate and chill for several hours before serving. 2. Quick Single-Serving Lemonade (One Glass)
First, combine the sugar and hot water in a glass—this is an easy way to dissolve the sugar quickly and prevent clumps in the lemonade. Then, add the lemon juice and the remaining cold water. Add ice until your glass is filled to the brim, stir, and you're done!
Basic ratio: 1/4 cup juice and 1 cup water for one serving.
3. Simple 3-Ingredient Lemonade
Boil 1 cup of water, turn off the heat, and add 1/2 cup of sugar. Stir until dissolved. When the sugar is completely dissolved, add 3 cups of cold water. Add 1/2 cup of lemon juice. Transfer to a large jar or jug and chill. If desired, add lemon slices, mint, or lavender and ice cubes before serving.
4. Secret-Ingredient Lemon Juice (with Lemon Peel)
The ingredients for this simple and refreshing lemon juice recipe are fresh lemon juice, sugar, salt, ice cubes, cold water, and a little lemon peel—that's the secret! Just blend everything together and serve immediately. The juice's slight bitterness and a little peel add a more lemony punch. Drink it immediately, as the longer the peel sits, the more bitter it becomes, which can overwhelm the flavor.
Tips and Tricks:
Room-temperature lemons extract juice more easily than cold, refrigerated lemons. Let your citrus fruits warm up on the counter for a few hours before making lemonade.
Microwave a lemon for 15 seconds, then gently roll it back and forth under the heel of your hand—both methods will release more juice.
Salt enhances the sweet flavor, cuts the sourness of the lemon, and reduces the acidity, giving the drink a more flavorful drink. Fresh mint, rosemary, and lavender pair well with homemade lemonade.
Store in a tightly sealed mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
