Homemade lemonade

Makes 2 litres
Hurray we have inherited a lemon tree at our new place. Now that we do, I'm not sure we know what to do with so many lemons though... time to get brainstorming and starting with the basics - some classic home-made lemonade. I'm not one for soft drinks but I do enjoy a refreshing 

Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup hot water (for syrup)
1 cup lemon juice (4 to 6 lemons, depending on the size)
 3 to 4 cups of cold water, to dilute

Method
1. Melt the sugar and hot water over the stove until the sugar has melted to make a sugar syrup
2. In a large jug, add the syrup to the juice and dilute with water to your liking.
3. Refrigerate and serve with ice and a slice of lemon.
NB. Make fresh on the day that you're serving as it only lasts about 3 to 4 days before tasting slightly fermented.
