Ingredients

In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the cooled simple syrup. Stir well to combine.
Step 4: Add Water and Ice
Next, add 6 cups of water to the pitcher and stir. If you prefer your lemonade to be less sweet, you can add more water to dilute it. Add ice to your liking for a cold and refreshing drink.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
For an extra touch of freshness, you can add a few mint leaves to your pitcher or to individual glasses. This step is optional, but it adds a nice pop of color and flavor to your lemonade. Serve your Easter lemonade in tall glasses with a straw and enjoy!
