Homemade Lemonade

Homemade lemonade is one of those drinks where the difference from a store-bought version is obvious after the first sip. Freshly squeezed juice gives a bright, lively tartness that concentrates and powdered mixes just can’t replicate, and you get full control over how sweet the final drink is.

The real trick to a good lemonade is not stirring sugar directly into the juice, but making a syrup first. Sugar crystals dissolve poorly in cold, acidic liquid, so a lemonade made that way tends to end up cloying at the bottom of the glass and under-sweet at the top. A syrup mixes evenly through the whole pitcher instead, giving a consistent, predictable flavor from the first glass to the last.
