How to Make Lemon Cooler

  1. In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Add 4 cups of cold water, 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 8-10 lemons), and 1 teaspoon citric acid to the pitcher.
  3. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill completely.
  5. Serve over ice in glasses. Garnish each serving with a lemon wedge or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance.
  6. For a sweeter cooler, increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups.
