There aren’t many things that can break me out of my water-all-the-time beverage habit, but the arrival of summer weather is one of them. And lemonade is usually first in line for my liquid-y cravings. Using only a few lemons, you can make perfect, delightful lemonade with hardly any effort at all.

Step 1

Scrub all Lemons (5) clean, then pat dry with a dry towel or tissues. Use a hand grater or lemon grater to zest the lemons.

Step 2

Combine Granulated Sugar (3/4 cup) , Water (1 cup) , and lemon zest in a small pot to make simple syrup. Heat the pot over medium-high heat until mixture starts to simmer and stir until sugar dissolves.

Step 3

While the simple syrup cools, juice the lemon and strain to remove all the seeds and the pulp.

Step 4

Combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup in a pitcher. Add Water (2 cups) to dilute. If you prefer your lemonade even thinner, add up to one cup more or until to your liking.

Step 5

Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, then serve over with Ice (to taste) and slices of lemon if you like things pretty. Enjoy!
