Lemonade (pronounced Lemon-ah-day)

I'm posting this on behalf of my husband the lemonade lover and sugar hater. By looking at some recipes online and using common sense, he put together a mighty tasty batch of lemonade. Which was followed by this one (aka the one I remembered to photograph).

Modified simple syrup: 1/2 cup of sugar mixed with 1 cup water, cooked on the stove until the sugar dissolves.

Mix simple syrup with 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice.

Then mix in 5 more cups of cold water.

Garnish with lemon slices.


This will be less sweet and more tart than most store-bought lemonades, but it's exactly the way he likes it. If you like it sweeter, use up to 1 cup of sugar to make your syrup.
