How to Make Make Your Own Fresh Lemonade Concentrate Syrup
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of granulated sugar and 2 cups of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure all the sugar dissolves and the syrup slightly thickens.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature.
- Once cooled, stir in 1 ½ cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds (optional).
- Transfer the lemonade concentrate to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- **To make a pitcher of lemonade:** Combine the entire recipe of concentrate with 5 cups of cold water. Add ice and stir. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint.
- **To make a glass of lemonade:** Combine 1/3 cup of concentrate with 1/4 cup of cold water. Stir and add plenty of ice. Garnish with a fresh lemon wedge.
