How to use a Paring Knife

Once you have all lemons in half, you can grab your fruit juicer. Place one lemon half in the hand juicer with the peel facing outwards. Push down on the lemon until the lemon half is fairly flat between the two juicing domes. Repeat for all lemon halves. If more lemons are needed to make it 1/2 cup of juice, repeat the process.

Now you will combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with your sugar.

Grab your pitcher and pour the cup of sugar into it. Then add your lemon juice.

Using your stirring spoon, begin stirring the mixture until the sugar is dissolved. The sugar will not fully dissolve, but just make sure it is well mixed together.

Measure out 6 cups of water. Add this to your sugary lemon juice mixture and use your spoon to continue mixing.

Place your pitcher of delicious lemonade in the fridge overnight
