The recipe for a classic homemade lemonade will help you prepare a healthy and tasty drink.

It is no secret that purchased carbonated drinks do not bring much benefit to the body, and if you drink them constantly, they will cause serious harm. An excellent alternative is a refreshing homemade drink that can be prepared according to a classic recipe.

Ingredients:

• Lemon – 3 pcs. (+1 for decoration).
• Sugar or honey – to taste.
• Water – 2.5 liters.
• Mint – 2 sprigs (+1 for decoration).
• Ice cubes.

To prepare lemonade, you need to take clean drinking water. You can buy it at the supermarket or use filtered water. Boiling the liquid is not recommended, as the taste of the finished product will change. Only in the case when it is impossible to find drinking water, it should be boiled and cooled.

– Lemons must be thoroughly washed, and then, using a grater, remove the zest from them and put it in a three-liter jar.

– Using a citrus juicer, squeeze the juice from all the lemons and pour it into a jar. Halves of squeezed lemons are also put in a jar.

– Separate the leaves from the sprigs of mint and add to the jar with the rest of the ingredients.

– Prepared products are poured with water, mixed and left to brew. The time of infusion depends on your desire. Lemonade is kept from 30 minutes to 2 – 3 hours.

– Then strain the homemade lemonade and add sugar or honey to it. This item also depends on your preference. Some people even refuse sweetness in lemonade, as they are sure that an unsweetened drink is more refreshing.

Before serving, lemonade is poured into transparent, glass jugs. This will give the drink a special charm, as it turns out to be a very beautiful color.

Lemonade can be garnished with mint leaves and lemon slices with bright zest – for this they are dipped into the finished drink. Lastly, prepared ice cubes are placed in the lemonade.

Homemade drink consists of natural ingredients and is suitable for absolutely everyone, both children and adults.
