A delightful twist on classic lemonade, featuring a blend of citrus flavors for a refreshing drink.
Combine the granulated sugar and boiling water in a pitcher, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved to avoid a gritty texture in the lemonade.
Add the fresh lemon rind, lemon juice, and orange juice to the pitcher, mixing well.
Use a fine grater for the lemon rind to maximize the citrus aroma.
Pour in the cold water and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness or citrus level as desired.
Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more harmonious taste.
Serve the lemonade over ice and garnish with fresh lemon slices.
Add a sprig of mint for an extra refreshing touch.
