Method · 5 min
- Wash the lemons thoroughly under cold running water to remove any impurities from the peel. Dry them with a clean cloth, then roll them on the work surface for a few seconds, pressing lightly with the palm of your hand to help release their juice. Cut them in half and remove any visible seeds as you go.
- Squeeze the lemon halves over a large pitcher using a citrus juicer, or simply with your hands if you prefer. Be careful to extract as much juice as possible without crushing the white pith under the peel, which could add bitterness. If necessary, you can quickly strain the juice through a small sieve to catch any stray seeds.
- Pour the granulated sugar into the pitcher containing the lemon juice, then gradually add the cold water. Stir thoroughly with a large spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved. Take your time to stir well to obtain a smooth, balanced, and pleasant drink with a fresh, sweet flavor and just the right amount of acidity for very hot days.
- Add the crushed ice to the pitcher at the very last minute, just before serving, to instantly chill the lemonade without diluting it too much. Stir gently to distribute the cold throughout the drink. For an even more refreshing lemonade, let it sit for a minute until it's perfectly ice-cold before serving.
- Divide the lemonade among four large glasses, making sure to share the crushed ice evenly. Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing taste of this homemade drink. You'll have a simple, quick, and very pleasant lemonade, ideal for quenching your thirst during a heatwave, accompanying a summer afternoon snack, or welcoming friends and family with a convivial drink.
