Plain-Jane Lemonade
For those who prefer traditional lemonade all you will need is:
- ½ cup of sugar
- 1 cup of fresh lemon juice (6 lemons)
Now for the exciting part. Take a small saucepan, combine the sugar and ½ cup water. Wait until it boils and stir regularly until the sugar is dissolved. Once it has cooled down, mix the syrup with the lemon juice and 2½ to 3 cups water. Top it off with ice and there you have it!
