Instructions
-
Juice the Lemons:
Start by juicing 4-5 fresh lemons to yield about 1 cup of lemon juice. Strain out any seeds for a smooth drink. -
Prepare the Lemonade Base:
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with the granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. -
Add the Cold Water:
Pour in 4 cups of cold water and stir to combine. This dilutes the tartness of the lemon juice and creates the perfect lemonade base. -
Add Ice:
Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to chill the lemonade and make it refreshing for serving. -
Whip the Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form, creating a creamy texture for the lemonade. -
Combine the Whipped Cream and Lemonade:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemonade mixture, allowing the cream to swirl through without fully mixing. This creates the signature swirled effect. -
Serve:
Pour the whipped lemonade over ice in glasses. Garnish with fresh lemon slices or berries if desired.
Notes
- Berry Swirl: Add fresh raspberries or strawberries to the lemonade mixture before whipping the cream for a fruity twist.
- Lighter Version: Swap out the heavy cream for a lighter whipped topping or coconut cream to reduce the richness while keeping the creamy texture.
- Minty Freshness: Add a few sprigs of fresh mint to the pitcher for a refreshing, aromatic twist
