How To Make homemade lemonade

• Step 1
  Wash the lemons, then rolls them on the kitchen counter to make them juicier.
• Step 2
  Slice the lemons into thin slices.
• Step 3
  In a 3 quart pitcher, layer the lemon slices and the sugar. Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap & refrigerate for 4 hours (or overnight). This will draw out the juice & lemon oil from the lemons.
• Step 4
  Using a potato masher or heavy spoon, press the lemons against the bottom or side of the pitcher to release the juice. Be careful not to tear up the lemon slices!
• Step 5
  Add water & ice to make 3 quarts of lemonade. Stir well, then taste. Adjust lemon juice, water, and/or sugar to suit your taste.
