1) First off you need to make some sugar syrup.  You can buy this in shops, but it is so easy to make yourself! All you have to do is mix equal measurements of sugar and water in to a pan then boil.  Once it has boiled simply take it off the heat and stir until all the sugar has dissolved. The sugar syrup can be stored for up to two weeks if kept in the refridgerator covered, so make enough of this to keep you going!

2) Allow the sugar syrup to cool, this may take a while, but you can speed this up by putting it in the refridgerator.

3) For each serving take half a lemon and squeeze it in to a tall glass, add around 2 tbsp of the sugar syrup and stir vigourously.

4) Add 8 to 10 oz of cold water to the glass and continue to stir.

5)  Add ice to keep your refreshing lemonade cool an serve!
