  • Total 15 min
  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 6 cups cold water
  • 2 cups lemon juice (8 to 10 lemons)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Ice cube
  • Lemon slice, if desired
  • Maraschino cherry with stem, if desired

  • 1
    Mix water, lemon juice and sugar in large pitcher until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until chilled if desired.
  • 2
    Serve lemonade over ice. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice and cherry.

  • To get the most juice from the lemons, let them stand at room temperature or microwave on High for a few seconds before squeezing them. Rolling the lemons on a counter while pushing down firmly to break the tissues inside will also release more juice for our lemonade recipe.
  • Tastes for sweetness of lemonade vary, so feel free to adjust the sugar to your taste. You may want to make Old-Fashioned Lemonade on the tart side and let guests add sugar if they prefer it sweeter.
