Ingredients

  • 4 large lemons, about 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Ice for serving

Instructions

  • Roll the lemons on a cutting board with firm pressure to help release more juice.
  • Cut lemons in half and juice them into a bowl. Use a mesh strainer to remove seeds and excess pulp.
  • Combine the lemon juice, sugar, and cold water in a large pitcher. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Serve over ice in individual glasses. For best flavor, avoid adding ice directly to the pitcher unless serving immediately
