Equipment

  • Handheld juicer or citrus reamer (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice about 6 large lemons
  • 3 ½ cups cold water
  • ¾ cup Golden light agave*

Instructions
 

  • Press down on the lemons firmly as you roll them on the counter. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze into a measuring cup. Strain to remove the seeds and/or pulp.
  • In a medium sized pitcher add the lemon juice, water, and agave. Stir well then top with lots of ice.
  • Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for later. Just be sure to add the ice when you are ready to use so it doesn't melt in the lemonade.
  • For a sweeter lemonade gradually add more agave tasting as you go. For a more diluted lemonade gradually add more water tasting as you go.

Notes

* Be sure to use light agave nectar. Amber agave has a very intense flavor!
