Lemonade
Fresh-squeezed lemonade made the simple way — just lemons, sugar and water, no shortcuts needed.
Method
1
Make a simple syrup
Warm 1 cup of the water with the sugar in a small saucepan, stirring until dissolved. Set aside to cool.
2
Juice the lemons
Juice the lemons, straining out any seeds.
3
Combine
Stir the lemon juice, sugar syrup and the remaining 3 cups of cold water together in a jug.
4
Chill and serve
Chill until cold, then serve over ice with lemon slices and mint.
TipTaste before serving — depending on how sweet or tart your lemons are, you may want to adjust the sugar slightly.
