GOOD TASTE - The Perfect Lemonade

when life gives you lemons...

Make lemonade.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Yield: Serves 6

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)

DIRECTIONS

1. Make a simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small pot 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. (Or you can even use shop bought lemon juice).

3. Add the juice and the sugar water to a jug or dispenser. 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.

4. Serve with ice and sliced lemons.
