Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 cups water or 500 ml.
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Start by juicing the lemons to get fresh lemon juice.
- Roll the lemons gently on a countertop, applying slight pressure to release more juice.
- You can also microwave them for about 10-15 seconds so that they give more juice on squeezing.
- Use about 1 tbsp. lemon juice per glass. I have made two glasses of lemonade here.
- Dissolve brown sugar in 1 cup or 250 ml. water. I used ¼ cup brown sugar for each glass of lemonade.
- Brown sugar is less sweet as compared to regular sugar. So you may end up using more quantity.
- I, however, prefer the lower sweetness of brown sugar.
- Mix well till brown sugar dissolves completely. It takes a couple of minutes.
- Pour the remaining water and lemon juice to make lemonade.
- If using soda, add it just before serving.
- Chill for at least an hour or use chilled water/soda while making this right away.
- In a glass, add ice cubes, then top up with brown sugar lemonade and serve immediately.
- You may reduce the quantity of water/soda slightly to allow for ice cubes to melt and not dilute the taste of the lemonade.
- Your lemonade is now ready to serve. Garnish with lemon slices and mint.

Notes
1. Fresh lemon or lime juice works best for this recipe. You can use frozen juice too as long as it is not pre-sweetened.
2. You can make large batches in a pitcher and refrigerate to consume as needed.
3. Adjust the balance of lemon juice to brown sugar as per taste. If you like more tartness add more lemon juice.
Likewise, for more sweetness add more brown sugar.
4. I have always felt that the brown sugar dissolves easily. But, you can always heat the water and add sugar to it to dissolve quickly.
You will need to cool down the sugar syrup before serving.
