How to Make Two Part Lemonade

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 4 cups of granulated sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the zest of 4 lemons.
  4. Let the syrup cool completely to room temperature. This prevents the zest from becoming bitter.
  5. Pour the cooled syrup into a clean glass jar or container. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  6. To make the lemonade, combine 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of simple syrup (from step 5), and 6 cups of ice water in a large pitcher.
  7. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed, adding more syrup or lemon juice to your preference.
  8. Serve over ice in tall glasses, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
