RECIPES
Fresh Lemonade/
Fresh Limeade
A tangy thirst quencher.
Makes about 2 quarts
¾ cup cold water
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 cup fresh lemon or lime
juice
1 liter/quart cold water or
seltzer (for sparkling
lemonade)
ice cubes
thin lemon or lime slices
fresh mint leaves (optional
garnish)
Combine the cold water and sugar
in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a
boil over high heat, then reduce the
heat to low and simmer until the
sugar is dissolved. Remove from the
heat and let cool. (This is called a
“simple syrup,” and can be prepared
ahead and kept refrigerated.)
Combine juice with cold simple
syrup in a large pitcher. (For one
pound of lemons – 1 cup juice – use
1 cup simple syrup.) Add cold water
or seltzer.
Serve in tall glasses over ice.
Garnish with lemon slices and fresh
mint if desired.
