Ingredients
Scale
8–10 medium lemons
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup hot water
6 cups cold water
Several cups ice
Instructions
Mix granulated sugar and hot water in a large container until sugar dissolves completely
Juice lemons using a citrus juicer or manual press, filtering out pulp for smoother consistency
Combine lemon juice and simple syrup in a large pitcher
Add cold water and stir to blend
Chill until cold, then serve over ice
Notes
Use filtered water for cleanest flavor
Adjust cold water quantity to taste (more for tart, less for sweeter lemonade)
Meyer lemons create a gentler flavor profile
Simple syrup can be made 1-2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator
