Whole-Lemon Blender Lemonade

Prepare the Lemon: Wash the lemon thoroughly and trim both ends. Keeping the peel on adds a slightly bitter, aromatic flavor.

Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the whole lemon, sugar, and cold water. Blend on high for 1–2 minutes until smooth.

Add Ice: Add the ice to the blender and pulse until the lemonade is chilled and slightly frothy.

Strain (Optional): For a smoother drink, pour the lemonade through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp.

Serve: Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a lemon slice or mint leaves if desired.
