How to make homemade lemonade

To make homemade lemonade, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup of sugar

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will make a simple syrup.

3. Add the prepared simple syrup to the pitcher and mix well.
4. Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or water if needed.
