Ingredients

  • 1 cups water
  • 3/4 cup sugar up to 1 cup if using conventional lemons
  • 1 cup Meyer lemon juice need 4 large lemons, approximately
  • 6 cups cold water
  • Ice for serving

Instructions

  • Make a simple syrup. Combine 1 cup water and 3/4 cup sugar in a small sauce pan (a tall 2-quart size is better to catch the splashes). Cook on medium-heat for 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved, stir occasionally. Remove the simple syrup from the heat and set aside to cool down.
  • Cut the Meyer lemons in half and juice about 1 cup of lemon juice. If your citrus juicer does not strain the seeds, use a fine mesh strainer to strain the lemon juice and pour the lemon juice into a large pitcher (8-cup size or larger).
  • Add the simple syrup and 6 cups of cold water into the pitcher, stir, and refrigerate until cold (1-2 hours).
  • When ready to serve, pour the Meyer lemon lemonade into glasses half filled with ice.
