Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wash the lemons thoroughly.
  • Quarter both lemons and place them in one of the containers.
  • Muddle the lemons until you’ve gotten as much juice as possible out of them.
  • Add the sugar to the container with the lemons and give it a little shake. The lemon juice helps dissolve the sugar.
  • Fill the container ¾ of the way with ice and then add the water.
  • Place the lid on, before making the hole in it, and shake it really well, combining all the ingredients thoroughly.
  • Make a hole in the lid using a 5/16” hole punch, or by your preferred method, add a straw, and enjoy your fair lemonade!

Notes

Hole punching: Punch a hole in the plastic lid using a hole punch that's 5/16-inch minimum in diameter, so you can fit a straw through it. No hole punch? Use a sharp knife to cut an X-shape for the straw to go through.
Sweetness: Start with 3 tablespoon of sugar. You can always add more later. But you can't take some out if you over-sweeten the fair lemonade.
More a-peel-ing: If you add lemon peels for added flavor, remove them if you're not going to drink the fair lemonade right away. After a while, it can make the lemonade bitter.
