The Perfect Lemonade

Lemonade: sugar, water, lemon juice. Easy, right?

The best way to make lemonade is to make a simple syrup first, by heating water and sugar together until the sugar is completely dissolved, and then mix that with the lemon juice.

The proportions will vary depending on how sweet and strong you like your lemonade, and how sour your lemons are to begin with.

INGREDIENTS

METHOD

  1. Make "simple syrup"
  2. Juice the lemons
  3. Combine lemon juice, simple syrup, water and taste
  4. Chill

Serve with ice, sliced lemons and enjoy!

* Note that when you add ice, it will melt and naturally dilute the lemonade. If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it.
