Ingredients
1 ¾ cup white sugar
1 cup water
9 medium lemons, or more as needed
7 cups of ice-cold water
ice as needed
Method
- Combine sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Stir to dissolve the sugar while the mixture comes to a boil. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, roll lemons around on your counter to soften them. Cut in half lengthwise, and squeeze into a liquid measuring cup. Add pulp to the juice, but discard any seeds. Continue juicing until you have 1 1/2 cups of fresh juice and pulp.
- Pour 7 cups of ice-cold water into a pitcher. Stir in lemon juice and pulp, then add simple syrup to taste. Add ice.
