Equipment

  • Muddler
  • Deli containers
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 1 lemon cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 oz sweet cream
  • 1 to 2 cups ice

Instructions

  • Add the lemon wedges and sugar to a 32-ounce container. Muddle the lemons and sugar together until the lemons soften.
  • Pour in the water, sweet cream, and fill almost to the top with ice.
  • Place the cover on and shake the lemonade until well combined.
  • Using a paring knife, cut an X into the top of the lid and insert a straw.

Notes

No need to roll lemons before juicing, since you’re not muddling them, the juice and oils go straight into the drink.
For a more tart flavor, reduce sugar or add more lemon juice. If it’s too tart, balance it with extra sweet cream or sugar.
Always wash lemons before using. A warm water rinse or quick vinegar soak is enough, no soap needed.
You can add fruit, such as strawberries or raspberries. Use syrups for a stronger, sweeter flavor or fresh fruit for brightness and texture. To keep seeds out, strain the finished drink through a fine-mesh sieve.
