INGREDIENTS

  • Citrus

    • 🍋 6 lemons

  • Sweetener

    • 🧂 1 ¼ cups white sugar

  • Liquid

    • 💧 5 cups cold water

STEPS

1

Wash the lemons and peel off all the zest using a vegetable peeler; set peeled lemons aside. Add lemon zest to a bowl and cover with sugar; toss to combine. Cover and let sit for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to overnight.

2

Bring water to a boil in a pot over high heat; turn off the heat and pour in the lemon-sugar mixture. Stir and let sit until sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes.

3

Pour through a mesh strainer back into the same bowl and discard the zest. Let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.

4

Cut lemons in half and squeeze juice into the bowl. Pour lemonade into a serving pitcher; cover and chill thoroughly before serving over ice, at least 2 hours.
