How to Make Old Fashion Lemonade

  1. Using a potato masher, mash 1 cup of thinly sliced lemons and ¾ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl until the lemons release their juice and the sugar begins to dissolve.
  2. Gradually stir in 4 cups of cold water, ensuring the sugar completely dissolves. Add the juice of 1 large lemon.
  3. Strain the lemonade through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher to remove the lemon pulp.
  4. Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve over ice for an extra refreshing treat!
