Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 2 Cups Water
  • 6 Lemons juiced
  • 1 Quart Water

Instructions

  • Boil 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water together for 5 minutes, stirring often. This creates the sugar syrup.

  • While sugar syrup is cooling, use a citrus juicer to juice 6 fresh lemons.
  • Stir together the sugar syrup, lemon juice, and quart of water.
  • Let mixture chill or serve immediately over ice.

Notes

  • For best flavor, cool for at least an hour before serving.
  • Be sure to check your juicer for seed particles (sometimes they slip through).
