Of course, making a whole pitcher is time consuming and I don't always want that much. Until recently, my solution was to make one glass using the powdered stuff. Then I started experimenting and found out using one lemon, some sugar, and some water, I can actually make delicious fresh-squeezed lemonade one glass at a time!
To make one glass of lemonade you will need:
1 Lemon
4 ounces of water
2 tablespoons of sugar (to taste)
Ice cubes
What to do:
It's simple! Squeeze your lemon into a glass. I have a great citrus juicer that I found a thrift store, but you could do it by hand or use another tool too. You'll end up with about 1/8 a cup of juice.
Add water to the juice. You're only filling your glass about halfway with water - 4 oz or so. I use warm water for this part so that my sugar will dissolve better.
Add the sugar to the lemon/water mixture. I use two tablespoons of sugar. It's a lot, but I very rarely drink sweet drinks, so I don't mind. You may want more or less depending on how sour you like your lemonade.
Stir away! Next, add ice until the cup is full.
Enjoy!
P.S.: For a particularly refreshing twist, rip up some basil leaves and throw them in the lemonade. Delicious!
