How to make it
5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

Place the saucepan
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
5 minJuice the lemons
Juice the lemons to get approximately 1 1/2 cups of fresh juice.
Combine the simple syrup, lemon juice, and 4 cups of cold water
In a large pitcher, combine the simple syrup, lemon juice, and 4 cups (950ml) of cold water. Stir well.
Refrigerate until chilled
Refrigerate until chilled and serve in glasses filled with ice.
A little kitchen wisdom
Always use fresh lemons rather than bottled juice for the best flavor. For a decorative touch, garnish with mint leaves or thin lemon wheels.
