Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup lemon juice ((6-8 lemons))
  • ice

Instruction

  • Add one cup of the water and the sugar to a saucepan. Over medium-low heat, continuously stir with a whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. The result is a simple syrup.
  • Remove saucepan from heat. Pour the simple syrup into a large pitcher and refrigerate until cooled - about 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime, juice the lemons, reserving 1 cup of lemon juice. (If you want sliced lemon as a garnish, you may need an extra lemon or two.)
  • Once the simple syrup has cooled, add 5 cups of cold water to the pitcher and stir to combine.
  • Pour in the lemon juice and stir. Add ice and lemon slices. Serve immediately.
