Orange Lemonade

To make a fizzy version of this recipe, use seltzer or sparkling water.

Ingredients

makes 7 cups

3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
4 cups fresh orange juice (about 12 oranges)
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (about 9 lemons)
Ice, for serving
2 oranges, washed and thinly sliced
1 lemon, washed and thinly sliced
  1. Step 1

    Make the sugar syrup: Combine the sugar and the water in a small saucepan over medium heat, and stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, and let cool completely. (To cool the syrup more quickly, plunge the saucepan in an ice-water bath, and stir frequently until cool.)

    Step 2

    Combine the sugar syrup, orange juice, and lemon juice in a large pitcher or punchbowl. Stir to combine. Add the ice and sliced oranges and lemons, and serve immediately.
