Savor a refreshing, individually portioned lemonade, ideal for a sweltering summer day. This recipe requires just one lemon. Relish every sip!
1 lemon
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
Choose the Right Lemons: Opt for lemons that are ripe and heavy for their size. They'll yield more juice. The skin should be bright yellow, not green, and feel slightly soft when you squeeze it.
Room Temperature Lemons: Using room temperature lemons will make them easier to juice. If you only have refrigerated lemons, microwave them for about 10-20 seconds before juicing.
Roll Before Cutting: Roll your lemon on the countertop with a firm pressure before slicing it open. This helps break down the membranes inside the lemon and releases more juice.
Dissolve the Sugar: Dissolving your sugar in a small amount of hot water before adding it to your lemonade ensures that you won't have grainy sugar at the bottom of your glass.
Adjust to Taste: The beauty of homemade lemonade is that you can tweak it to your liking. If it's too tart, add more sugar. If it's too sweet, add more lemon juice or water.
Consider Infusions: Infuse your lemonade with additional flavors such as mint, basil, or even a splash of gin for an adult version. Experiment to find your perfect flavor combination.
Chill before Serving: Lemonade is best served chilled. For an extra touch, consider freezing lemon slices in your ice cubes for a visually appealing and flavorful twist.
