Method

  1. Wash the lemons, cut them in half and squeeze them well. Remove any seeds that fall into the juice.
  2. Mix the lemon juice with the sugar and let it macerate until the granules dissolve and a kind of dense syrup forms.
  3. For each glass of lemonade, dilute 2 tablespoons of this syrup in cold water. Taste and adjust the quantities to your liking.
  4. Serve with ice and keep the leftover syrup in the refrigerator to use as needed.
