Tips & Notes
- Roll each lemon firmly on the counter and juice it at room temperature. Softened fruit gives more juice, which makes it easier to reach the full cup from 4 to 6 lemons.
- If stirring in step 2 still leaves grit, dissolve the sugar in a few tablespoons of the water warmed first. Granulated sugar dissolves slowly in cold lemon juice.
- Pour the squeezed juice through a fine-mesh sieve before it goes into the pitcher. Lemon seeds are easy to miss and unpleasant to find at the bottom of a glass.
