Lemonade
Classic lemonade. So simple, yet, when in possession of extra lemons, I can never recall off the top of my head this ratio for perfect lemonade. I am sticking to a recipe of ratios (vs. measurements) because we generally make the amount of lemonade based on the amount of lemon juice yielded.
Ingredients
1 part freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 part granulated sugar, honey, or agave nectar
3 parts water, still or sparkling
Ice
Instructions
1
In a pitcher, mix the freshly squeezed lemon juice with the sugar and water and stir until the sugar completely dissolves.
2
Pour into a tall glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lemon slice, if desired.
Variations: for basil or mint lemonade, muddle a few basil or mint leaves in the bottom of each glass before adding ice and the lemonade.
