What is Lemon juice with sugar?
Lemon juice with sugar is a simple drink made by sweetening freshly squeezed lemon juice. It has no single place of origin and is commonly prepared at home; water is often added to make it less concentrated.
Its sharp citrus tang is softened by sweetness, and it is usually served chilled, sometimes over ice. Across the English-speaking world, it makes a refreshing homemade drink alongside a meal or on a warm day. Lemon contributes vitamin C, while most of the drink’s carbohydrates come from the added sugar. For a less sweet version, use less sugar and dilute it with more water.
