A refreshing and balanced homemade lemonade with a subtle hint of Himalayan pink salt that enhances hydration and flavor. Perfect for hot summer days, this easy recipe uses simple ingredients and takes under 10 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh lemons, juiced (about 1 cup or 240 ml lemon juice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
  • 1/2 cup pure cane sugar
  • 4 cups cold water (filtered recommended)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh mint leaves (a handful, optional)

Instructions

  1. Roll the lemons firmly on the countertop, cut in half, and juice until you have about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Strain out seeds.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine 1/2 cup (100 g) pure cane sugar and 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) pink Himalayan salt. Add 1 cup (240 ml) warm water and stir briskly until sugar and salt are fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the fresh lemon juice to the pitcher, then pour in 3 cups (720 ml) cold water. Stir well to combine. Adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more dissolved sugar or lemon juice as needed.
  4. Add ice cubes and optional fresh mint leaves. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to let flavors meld.
  5. Give the lemonade a final stir before serving. Pour over ice in tall glasses and garnish with a lemon wheel or mint sprig if desired. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use fresh lemons for best flavor. Dissolve sugar and salt in warm water first to avoid grittiness. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness gradually. Chill before serving for best flavor. For a fizzy version, replace half the cold water with sparkling water just before serving. Sugar can be substituted with honey, agave, stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol for alternative sweeteners.
