Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves, creating a simple syrup. This sweet elixir will ensure that our lemonade is perfectly balanced. Allow the simple syrup to cool for a few minutes. Step 4: Mix it up In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the simple syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir the mixture vigorously until well combined. You can adjust the sweetness and tartness of the lemonade by adding more water or simple syrup, depending on your personal preference. Step 5: Chill and serve Now that our homemade lemonade is ready, let's give it some time to chill and let the flavours mingle. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. If you're eager to enjoy your lemonade immediately, you can add some ice cubes to expedite the cooling process. Step 6: Garnish and sip Once your homemade lemonade has chilled to perfection, it's time to serve it up and enjoy the fruits of your labour!
