Notes
Use any lemonade you want but if you want to make your own like I did it's easy. This makes about 8 (1 cup) servings.
- 1 ¾ cups white sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup lemon juice (about 10 medium lemons)
- 7 cups ice-cold water
- ice as needed
- Combine sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Stir to dissolve sugar while mixture comes to a boil. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, roll lemons around on your counter to soften. Cut in half crosswise, and squeeze into a liquid measuring cup. Add pulp to the juice, but discard any seeds. Continue juicing until you have 1 1/2 cups fresh juice and pulp.
- Pour 7 cups ice-cold water into a pitcher. Stir in lemon juice and pulp, then add simple syrup to taste. Add ice.
