Ingredients
1½ cups sugar
1½ cups boiling water
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1½ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
4 cups cold water
Lemon slices, for garnish
Instructions
Combine sugar and boiling water, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and cold water. Mix well. Chill. Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices.
Notes
If you want lemonade that doesn’t need to be chilled, use four cups of ice instead of cold water. Most of the cubes will melt, at which point you can add extra ice as needed.
