  • A strainer or cheesecloth
  • Lemon zester

How To Make Lemonade: Prepare the lemons

Step 1: Prepare the lemons

Wash the lemons, prick their skins with a fork, and microwave them on high for about 30 seconds. This will loosen the juice.

How To Make Lemonade: Soften them up

Step 2: Soften them up

To further soften them, roll each lemon on a hard surface, like a cutting board, with the palm of your hand.

How To Make Lemonade: Squeeze the juice

Step 3: Squeeze the juice

Cut the lemons crosswise in half and twist them on the juicer to release the juice.

How To Make Lemonade: Remove the pits

Step 4: Remove the pits

Remove any seeds from the juice.

If you prefer your lemonade without pulp, strain the juice through a strainer or cheesecloth.

How To Make Lemonade: Boil water

Step 5: Boil water

Heat half a cup of water on the stove. When it reaches a boil, add one and a half cups of sugar, lower the heat, and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

How To Make Lemonade: Add fresh lemon juice

Step 6: Add fresh lemon juice

Remove the syrup from the heat and add your freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Add a tablespoon of grated lemon zest for an extra kick.

How To Make Lemonade: Mix with cold water

Step 7: Mix with cold water

Add four and a half cups of cold water to the lemon and sugar syrup. Mix thoroughly.

How To Make Lemonade: Chill the lemonade

Step 8: Chill the lemonade

Chill the lemonade, or serve it immediately in glasses of ice with a twist of lemon.

Lemonade was invented by the Egyptians over 1500 years ago.
