How to Make Meyer Lemonade

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool completely. (This step is crucial for preventing curdling and achieving a smoother lemonade).
  3. While the syrup cools, juice approximately 6-8 Meyer lemons (about 1 ½ cups of fresh juice).
  4. Once the simple syrup is cool, combine it with the Meyer lemon juice and 2 cups of cold water in a pitcher.
  5. Stir well to combine.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or over ice. Enjoy!
  7. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint (optional)
