Fresh Lemonade

Directions

1. 1
   First put 1 cup of water and 1 cup sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and it just starts to bubble. Remove from the heat, bring to room temperature, then stash in the fridge to cool off.
2. 2
   Meanwhile, you can start squeezing your lemons.
3. 3
   In a large pitcher add the 6 cups of cold water, the 2 cups of lemon juice and the simple syrup. Stir and then chill completely.
4. 4
   Serve over ice with a slice of lemon as garnish. This would also be great with a little vodka and a splash of tonic to make it bubbly!
