Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Vintage Lemonade.
Step 1
Begin by carefully peeling the rinds from five fresh lemons, slicing them into half-inch pieces, and setting these vibrant lemon slices aside for later.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon rinds with sugar, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
Step 3
Allow this delightful mixture to rest for about an hour, giving the sugar time to soak up the zesty lemon oils.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a covered saucepan, bring water to a rolling boil.
Step 5
Once boiling, pour the hot water over the sugared lemon rinds and let it cool for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully before removing the rinds.
Step 6
Next, squeeze the juice from the lemons into a separate bowl, straining it to eliminate any pulp and seeds.
Step 7
Pour this fresh lemon juice into the sugar mixture and stir thoroughly to blend all the ingredients harmoniously.
Step 8
Finally, transfer your refreshing lemonade into a pitcher and chill it in the refrigerator until it's perfectly cold.
Step 9
Serve over ice cubes for a revitalizing drink that captures the essence of summer in every sip.
Step 10
Enjoy the bright, tangy flavor that will surely quench your thirst and brighten your day!.
