INGREDIENTS
 
 

  • 5 large lemons
  • 100 ml water for the syrup
  • 150 g sugar 100 g granulated sugar and 50 g brown sugar (5.3 oz / 3.5 oz white sugar + 1.8 oz brown sugar )
  • 350 ml water for the lemon purée
  • 300 ml water or more to dilute or more

PREPARATION

  • Squeeze 3 large lemons and pour the juice into a saucepan with the sugar and 100 ml of water.
  • Heat over medium and stir to help the sugar dissolve quickly. Do not bring to a boil.
  • Once the sugar is fully dissolved, remove from the heat and let it cool.
  • Zest 2 lemons, then peel them, removing both the rind and the white pith, which can add bitterness. Cut the flesh into small pieces.
  • Place the peeled lemons, zest, and 350 ml of water in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Filter this purée through the syrup. Strain the mixture a second time to remove the very fine pulp. If you like it, you can keep the pulp.
  • Dilute with 300 ml of water or more, according to your preferred level of acidity. Place lemon slices and ice cubes in glasses or a pitcher, then fill with lemonade.
  • Garnish with fresh mint. Serve and enjoy!
