How to Make Fresh Lemonade Syrup
- In a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of water and microwave on high for 1 minute.
- Add 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar or Splenda for baking (adjust to your desired sweetness) and stir until completely dissolved.
- Add 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and the zest of 2 lemons.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- **To prepare lemonade:** For a single serving, mix ¼ cup of syrup with ¾ cup of cold water in a glass. Add ice and enjoy!
- **To make a ½ gallon of lemonade:** Combine 2 ⅔ cups of syrup with 5 cups of cold water in a pitcher. Stir well and serve over ice.
- **To freeze for later use:** When lemons are in season, prepare a large batch of syrup and freeze it in ice cube trays.
- Once frozen, pop the cubes out and store them in a freezer-safe zip-top bag, removing as much air as possible.
- **To use frozen syrup:** For one serving, add 2-3 frozen syrup cubes to a glass. Add ¾ cup of warm or cold water and stir until the cubes are dissolved. Add ice and serve.
