Ingredients
Scale
Lemon Syrup:
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6–8 lemons)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups cold water
Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
For Serving:
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices, for garnish (optional)
- Mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Lemon Syrup: Combine lemon juice and sugar in a medium saucepan.
- Heat and Dissolve Sugar: Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is completely dissolved (5-7 minutes).
- Simmer: Simmer gently for 1 minute. Do not boil vigorously.
- Cool: Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Whip Cream: Ensure heavy cream is thoroughly chilled. In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- Prepare Lemonade: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lemon syrup and 2 cups of cold water. Stir well and adjust sweetness if needed. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes.
- Combine Whipped Cream: Gently fold in half of the whipped cream into the pitcher using a spatula. Repeat with the remaining whipped cream, folding until just combined.
- Final Touch: Add the remaining 2 cups of cold water and gently stir to combine.
- Serve: Pour the whipped lemonade into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with lemon slices and mint sprigs if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a lighter version, you can use whipped coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
- Adjust the sweetness of the lemonade by adding more or less sugar according to your preference.
