How is lemonade made?

Lemonade is a refreshing drink made from lemon juice, sugar, and water. Here's a basic recipe:

Ingredients:

* Lemons: You'll need about 4-6 lemons, depending on how tart you like your lemonade.

* Sugar: Start with 1 cup of granulated sugar, but you can adjust this based on your preference.

* Water: Use about 4 cups of water.

Instructions:

1. Juice the lemons: Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a pitcher.

2. Add sugar and water: Pour the sugar and water into the pitcher with the lemon juice.

3. Stir until the sugar dissolves: You can use a spoon or whisk to mix everything together.

4. Taste and adjust: Add more lemon juice, sugar, or water as needed to reach your desired sweetness and tartness.

5. Chill: Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Variations:

* Sweetened with honey or agave: Use honey or agave nectar instead of sugar for a less processed option.

* Sparkling lemonade: Add club soda or sparkling water for a bubbly version.

* Flavored lemonade: Add berries, herbs, or other fruits for extra flavor.

Tips:

* Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons will give you the best flavor.

* Strain the lemonade: If you want a smoother lemonade, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp.

* Store leftovers: Keep leftover lemonade in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Enjoy! 🍋
