Sabrina’s Homemade Lemonade Recipe
Skip the store bought bottles of lemonade and learn how to make it with just 3 ingredients in my easy recipe! My secret is to use a bit of science – but don’t worry, no lab coat required, just my step by step method. First I make a homemade simple syrup so the sugar dissolves completely. Next I chill the syrup for about 30 minutes before combining to prevent the citric acid from breaking down, ensuring maximum flavor. I also tested the proportions of juice, sugar, and water so you get the ultimate glass of lemonade that is sweet, lemony, tart, and refreshing all at once every time!
