Ingredients

1 cup Sugar

6 cups Water

1 Fresh lemon sliced

2 cups Fresh lemon juice (10-15 lemons) squeezed

Directions

Always wash your fruit before preparing. Heat 2 cups of water in microwave or sauce pan and pour in sugar, stir until dissolved. Set aside. Cut each lemon in half and use either a lemon squeeze or a juicer until you collect 2 cups (16 ounces) of lemon juice and pulp. Remove any seeds. Pour the prepared sugar water, lemon juice, and remaining water into a 2 quart pitcher and stir. Serve over ice and garnish with a lemon slice.

I followed the recipe to a t and for me personally it ended up too bitter so i had to add more water and sugar, still very good lemonade though :]

Have a lemon tree, too many to keep on hand. Made a double batch and added an extra cup of sugar (actually used a total of 3 cups of Splenda for my double batch instead of sugar). Did not have to heat the water.
