all you need is roughly six large lemons (2 cups of freshly squeezed juice), 12 cups of water and 2 1/2 cups of sugar!
cut your lemons in half and squeeze them. unfortunately I dont have a fancy juicer, which I may invest in, so I had to use my man power (after moving heavy items such as microwaves at work all day, my power was on the weak side so I used a fork to help me along). after squeezing the lemons, I filled my trusty jug with 12 cups of water, put a colander on top and poured the lemon juice through, filtering out the seeds. I like the pulp because it's just added flavour but no one wants seeds in their juice!
after that you just stir in 2 1/2 cups of sugar (or however much you'd like really, it all depends on the strength of your sweet tooth!), mix it up and pour yourself a glass.
my roommate was the first to try and after her thirteen hour work day, she exclaimed about how delicious it was!
success? I think so! next time I'll try slicing in some fresh strawberries or a few limes to mix it up.
happy making!
