How to make lemonade

What you will need:

  • 1 (or 3/4) cup sugar
  • 1 cup water (for simple syrup)
  • 4-6 lemons or a mix of citrus fruits, including oranges (note that this will yield a full cup of freshly squeezed citrus juice)
  • 2-3 cups of cold water
  • Soda

How to make it:

Step 1: To make the syrup, put the sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir the mixture until all the sugar has dissolved and then remove from heat.

Step 2: Squeeze the fruit.

Step 3: Pour the juice and simple syrup into a serving pitcher and stir.

Step 4: Add 2-3 cups of cold water and stir. Leave in the refrigerator for 30 to 40 minutes to cool well.

Step 5: Put in a glass of ice.

Bonus step: Add the lemonade to 3/4 of the glass, then fill with soda.
