Lemonade

Lemony Lemonade

Recipe:  Lemonade

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar (can reduce to 3/4 cup)
1 cup water (for the simple syrup)
1 cup lemon juice
3 to 4 cups cold water (to dilute)

Tools Needed:
Saucepan
Spoon
Knife
Cutting Board
Measuring Cup

Directions:
1.  Make 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 a juicer to extract 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 the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it.

Serve with ice, sliced lemons.
