Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Lemonade
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 4 cups cold water (still or sparkling)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjustable to taste)
Whipped Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
Instructions
- Prepare Fresh Lemonade: Mix freshly squeezed lemon juice with cold water and granulated sugar. Stir until sugar is fully dissolved and then chill the lemonade for optimal refreshment.
- Whip the Cream: Using a mixer or whisk, beat the chilled heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, resulting in a fluffy and airy consistency.
- Combine and Whip Together: Slowly fold the cold lemonade into the whipped cream. Gently whip the mixture together until it becomes thick yet light, preserving the airy texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the whipped lemonade into your favorite glass, optionally top with extra whipped cream, and garnish with lemon slices or fresh herbs. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Chill both lemonade and heavy cream before whipping to achieve the fluffiest texture.
- Use freshly squeezed lemons for the brightest and most natural flavor.
- Do not overbeat the cream; soft peaks allow smooth blending and prevent stiffness.
- Adjust sweetness to your preference using sugar, honey, or agave syrup.
- Best enjoyed immediately to maintain the light, whipped texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; remix gently before serving.
- Freezing is not recommended as it can cause separation and texture loss.
