Ingredients
- 8 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup lemon juice (6-8 lemons)
- 1 cup rhubarb simple syrup https://www.lordbyronskitchen.com/rhubarb-simple-syrup/
- ice
Instructions
- Add two cups of the sugar and water to a saucepan. Over medium-low heat, whisk or stir the sugar into the water until the sugar is completely dissolved. The water does not need to come to a boil! The heat from the burner will encourage the sugar to dissolve completely rather than just whisking the sugar into cold water. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside to cool.
- In the meantime, juice the lemons and strain the juice through a cheesecloth or a sieve to remove the pulp and any seeds. Transfer the lemon juice to a large pitcher.
- Add the rhubarb simple syrup to the pitcher as well as the remaining six cups of cold water.
- Once the water and sugar mixture has cooled, pour it into the pitcher and stir well into the other ingredients. Refridgerate until ready to serve.
- Before serving, add thin lemon slices and ice to the pitcher. Pour the lemonade into mugs or drinking glasses with more ice. Serve and enjoy!
