Servings 2 Quarts
- 2 Cups Sugar

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