Homemade Lemonade
This homemade lemonade is a perfect, refreshing drink for hot summer days, and the natural sweetness of Zulka® sugar enhances the fresh lemon flavor beautifully. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of Zulka® Morena Pure Cane Sugar
- 1 cup of water (for the simple syrup)
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
- 4 to 5 cups of cold water (to dilute)
Instructions
- First, you'll need to make a 'simple syrup'. Add the Zulka® sugar and 1 cup of water to a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and let the simple syrup cool.
- While your simple syrup is cooling, squeeze the lemons until you have 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
- Pour the lemon juice into a large pitcher. Add the cooled simple syrup and stir well.
- Dilute the mixture by adding 4 to 5 cups of cold water. The exact amount will depend on how tart or sweet you like your lemonade. Stir well.
- Taste your lemonade, and if needed, add more water or sugar to taste.
- Pop the pitcher in the fridge to chill, or serve immediately over ice. Enjoy!
