Lemonade
Steps
- In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let cool to room temperature.
- Strain 1½ cups of fresh lemon juice through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher. Stir in the syrup and refrigerate until cold.
- Stir in 2½ cups of cold water, adding more if it's too sweet, and serve over ice.
