- 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- roll lemons on the countertop with heavy pressure to loosen the juices in the lemon, slice in half, and juice with a squeeze juicer or twist. keep doing this till you have 1 cup of lemon juice. set aside.
- in a small pot add 1 cup of water to 1 cup of sugar. heat on medium until the sugar dissolves entirely. set aside and allow to cool.
- in a large juice jug add 6 cups of cold water, lemon juice, and sugar water mixture. stir it all together and place in the fridge until ready to serve.
- serve over ice or for an added bonus cut cubes of watermelon and freeze until solid. pour lemonade over a glass of frozen watermelon for a very special glass of lemonade.
