 This is a favourite summer drink!   It’s very cheap to make, and it’s especially good if you use freshly squeezed lemon juice.



Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

6 cups water

1 cup lemon juice- freshly squeezed or bottled


Method:

Put sugar and water into pot.  Heat and dissolve the sugar.  You’ve just made a simple syrup!  Let it cool.


Combine syrup with lemon juice. 


Chill.


Enjoy over ice cubes in a glass!


Notes: 

you can substitute lime juice (or mix lemon and lime juice)

feel free to add less sugar

garnish with citrus slices
