Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 5 cups cold water divided
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice from 6 to 8 lemons
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced

Equipment

  • saucepan
  • pitcher

Directions
 

  1. Make the simple syrup: put the sugar and 1 cup of the water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool.
  2. Stir the lemon juice, the remaining 4 cups water, and the cooled syrup together in a glass pitcher.
  3. Add the lemon slices and chill until serving time. Add more lemon juice to taste, and serve over ice.

Notes

Prep 15 min, cook 5 min. Keeps about 5 days refrigerated in an airtight container; stir before serving. Alcohol-free. Kids: an adult should handle the hot syrup and the knife; keep the lemonade cold (cooler with ice) at an outdoor stand.
