Servings: serving
Ingredients
- ½ large lemon, or one whole smaller lemon, depending on size
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup ice
- 1 cup cold water
Instructions
- Wash your lemon well, roll it around on the countertop to make it easier to juice, and then cut it in half.
- Pour sugar into a quart size mason jar. Using a citrus press or reamer, squeeze juice of half a large lemon into the jar. If your lemons are smaller, add the juice of the whole lemon.
- Give the lemon rind a good squeeze to release the essential oils, and toss it into the jar.
- Add about one cup of ice on top of the sugar and lemon juice and rind. Then fill the jar up with water to the 16-oz. mark.
- Place a canning lid and band on top of the jar, and secure it tightly. Shake lemonade mixture vigorously until all of the sugar is dissolved, and serve ice cold.
Recipe Notes
*If you don't like having undissolved sugar crystals in the bottom of your glass, you may substitute two tablespoons of rich simple syrup for the granulated sugar
