Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the lemon juice: Squeeze the lemons carefully to extract 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, ensuring no seeds are included.
- Make the lemonade base: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add water: Pour in 4 cups of cold water and stir to mix everything together evenly.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form to add a light and airy texture to the lemonade.
- Combine and serve: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemonade mixture to create a frothy, creamy consistency. Add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses to chill.
Notes
- For a pink hue, consider adding a small amount of natural pink food coloring or beet juice.
- Adjust the sugar amount based on your taste preference or the tartness of the lemons.
- Serve immediately after folding in whipped cream for the freshest texture.
- Use chilled water and cream for best results and to keep the drink cold.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with whipped coconut cream.
