Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Black Lemonade
- In a small pot, combine ¾ cup of sugar and ¾ cup of water. Heat over medium-high until boiling, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of black gel food color and set aside to cool.
- In a large pitcher, pour in 1 ½ cups of fresh lemon juice. Once the syrup has cooled to room temperature, add it to the pitcher.
- Pour in 4 cups of cold water into the lemon juice and syrup mixture. Stir well until combined.
- Prepare glasses filled with ice, then pour the freshly mixed Black Lemonade over the ice.
- For a fancy touch, consider garnishing your Black Lemonade with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint.
