A medium lemon generally produces around 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice, although the exact amount can vary depending on the fruit.
Step 5: Combine the Lemon and Water
Pour the fresh lemon juice into 500 ml of water.
Use a long spoon to stir the mixture well.
Make sure the lemon juice is evenly mixed throughout the water.
Let the drink sit for a few minutes after stirring. This gives the lemon flavor a little time to spread through the water.
Step 6: Adjust the Flavor
Taste the lemon water before serving.
If you want a stronger lemon taste, add more lemon juice.
If the drink tastes too strong, add more water.
You can also add a sweetener if you prefer a sweeter drink.
The important thing is to adjust the flavor gradually. Add a small amount at a time and taste again.
Adding Ice
Ice is optional in the basic recipe.
For a cold and refreshing drink, place ice cubes into the serving glasses or pitcher before serving.
