End Of Summer Lemonade

1 - 1  1/2 c. fresh lemon juice 4 large lemons (adjust amount needed).
1/2 - 1 c. prepared simple syrup (adjusted amount needed)
4  c. cold water

Cut lemons in half. 

Put halved lemon in microwave for 10 sec.

You can roll lemons on the kitchen counter with your hands for a few seconds too.

Squeeze lemon juice into a measuring cup.  

I’ve used an electric citrus juicer, but you can squeeze juice through sieve with your hands or a manual citrus squeezer. 

Pour lemon juice through a sieve into a pitcher.

Add 1 c. of the simple syrup and water. 

 Mix well. You can can add more simple syrup if desired. 

Serves 6 - 8.
