Ingredients

• 6 whole Lemons
• 1 whole Lime
• 1 medium Jalapeno
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 5 cups Water
• 2 cups Ice cubes
• 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 3 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare a simple syrup by combining 1 cup of water and the granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 2

2. While the simple syrup is cooling, juice the lemons and the lime into a bowl, removing any seeds. You should have about 1 cup of fresh juice.

Step 3

3. Thinly slice the jalapeno. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds before slicing.

Step 4

4. In a pitcher, combine the lemon-lime juice, the cooled simple syrup, and the remaining 4 cups of water. Stir well.

Step 5

5. Add the jalapeno slices to the pitcher and let the lemonade sit for at least 10 minutes to infuse the flavors. For a stronger jalapeno flavor, let it infuse longer in the refrigerator.

Step 6

6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the infused lemonade through a strainer to remove the jalapeno slices. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Jalapeno Lemonade!
