This lemonade doesn't suffer little sugar crystals forming at the bottom of the pitcher. Making the sugar syrup in advance is well worth your time and if you really make a lot of lemonade, you can make large batches to keep on hand for the future.
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- Juice from 6 lemons
- 4 cups cold water
Blend the one cup of water and one cup of sugar well in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow the syrup to cool in the refrigerator.
Mix the syrup well with the juice from six lemons and stir well. Add four cups of cold water and mix. Pour the lemonade into a thermos or large jug, adding thin lemon slices if you'd like.
