Preparation time: 10 minutes

Ingredients
¾ cup of sugar
1 cup water (for the simple syrup)
1 cup lemon juice
3 to 4 cups cold water (to dilute)

Method
1. Make a simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.
2. While the sugar is dissolving, use the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice.
3. Add the juice and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add 3 to 4 cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes. If you prefer the lemonade sweeter, add a little more sugar.
Serve with ice and sliced lemons and enjoy!
Serves 6.

If it were us, we’d be serving it up in the shade in these beautifully decorated stainless steel tableware from Kashmir.
