Homemade Lemonade

Everyone loves lemonade in the summer time, right? Now, while store bought already made or lemonade made from concentrate are great the homemade stuff is always better. That seems to be the case with most things though. I've made this lemonade twice this summer and it has gotten the approval of four people other than myself, so I think that it's okay.


What You'll Need...

1 Cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice (About 10 small lemons or 5 large.)
1 Batch Simple Syrup
8 Cups Cold Water

Simple Syrup:
1 Cup Water
1 Cup Sugar

Start out by making the simple syrup. To do so place one cup of water and one cup of sugar in a sauce pan. Turn on the heat, stir, and allow the sugar to dissolve. When the sugar had dissolved turn off the heat and allow the syrup to cool.

Once the syrup has cooled add it to a pitcher with the lemon juice and the additional 8 cups of water. Stir to combine and place in the refrigerator to chill.

Enjoy!
