Ice-cold homemade lemonade made with fresh lemon juice, water, and mint. A refreshing classic for hot summer days, it works for entertaining or everyday sipping.
Stir the granulated sugar into half of a 200 ml measure of warm water until completely dissolved. This keeps the sugar from settling at the bottom, as it might if added to cold water.
Combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and cold water in a large pitcher. Taste and adjust with more sugar or lemon juice. Lightly crush the mint leaves and add them.
Refrigerate the pitcher for at least 1 hour. Add ice to glasses and pour in the lemonade. Garnish with a mint leaf and serve.
To keep the lemonade from becoming too sweet, add the sugar gradually and taste as you go; the tartness of lemons varies with the season. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving so the flavors can come together. Store in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Kızım da yardım etti, birlikte yapmak keyifliydi. Çocuklar sebzeli olduğunu fark etmeden yediler, bu da ayrı bir başarı. Annemin yıllardır yaptığı tarife çok benziyor, nostaljik oldu.
