Equipment

  • 1 16 oz jar or shaker with lid

Ingredients

  • 1 lemon sliced in half
  • 2 tbsp sugar add more as desired, up to 1/4 cup
  • 1/2 cup ice or more as needed to fill to the top of the jar
  • 12 oz water estimated-just fill up the jar to the top

Instructions

  • Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the bottom of a 16 oz jar or shaker with lid. Place 1/2 of the juiced lemon into the jar.
    1 lemon
  • Sprinkle sugar over the lemon slice. Anything from 2 Tbsp to 1/4 cup will do, depending on how tart and large your lemons are and how sweet you want your drink to be.
    2 tbsp sugar
  • Fill the jar up to the top with ice and then add water, leaving just enough room at the top for shaking.
