Ingredients
- Lemon: It has to be fresh lemon juice, the bottled stuff just won't taste right! You will want about 1 medium to large lemon.
- Simple Syrup: Simple syrup is a 1:1 ratio of granulated sugar and water. Create a sugar syrup that makes it easy to make drinks of all kinds, and especially lemonade! Using simple syrup helps us skip the step of having to warm up a little water to add the sugar to and get it to dissolve because it is already dissolved!
- Water: Cold and filtered water will help create the best results.
- Ice: Maybe this goes without saying but lemonade is definitely best when served with a lot of ice.
Instructions
Making single serving lemonade really can't be any easier!
Add the lemon juice, simple syrup, and water to a glass. Mix well. Fill with ice and stir once more. Enjoy!
