Steps:
- In a pitcher, stir the lime juice with the sugar and 1 1/2 cups water until the sugar has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Fresh is best, but I think Limonada still tastes good after a couple of days in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Place the quartered limes or lemons in the blender with 4 cups of water and sugar.
- Blend until the limes or lemon is completely pulverized, the mixture should be slightly foamy with a whitish color.
- Strain the lemonade and add the remaining 4 cups of water.
- Serve with or without ice based on individual preference.
Tips:
- Choose ripe lemons: Using ripe lemons will give your lemonade a sweeter, more flavorful taste. Look for lemons that are bright yellow and feel heavy for their size.
- Use filtered water: Filtered water will help to remove any impurities from your lemonade, resulting in a clearer, more refreshing drink.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your lemonade is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Chill before serving: Lemonade is best served chilled. You can chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight, or you can serve it over ice.
- Add garnishes: Garnishes such as lemon slices, mint leaves, or berries can add a pop of color and flavor to your lemonade.
