Method
Preparation of Lemonade
Juicing the Lemons
Start by rolling the lemons on a clean surface with your palm to break down the cells and make them easier to juice. Cut the lemons in half and juice them until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Making the Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Once dissolved, remove from heat and let cool.
Combining Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, and 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine.
Adding Color
Add 1 tablespoon of grenadine syrup to the pitcher and stir gently. This will give the lemonade its lovely pink color. Adjust the amount of grenadine to achieve your desired shade of pink.
Serving
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the pink lemonade for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve over ice in tall glasses and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves if desired.
