Homemade Lemonade

This is such a yummy recipe for homemade lemonade and is the perfect drink for summer! It is best served very cold, and is so refreshing on a hot day.

Ingredients:

4 lemons
175g brown sugar
900ml boiling water 

Method:

1) scrub the lemons, half them and squeeze out the juice.
2) Place the juice and pulp in a bowl with the sugar and pour in 300ml of boiling water.
3) Stir until the sugar dissolves, add the lemon halves and another 600ml of boiling water.
4) Stir and leave the mixture to cool, covering it.
5) Strain the cooled lemonade, making sure to squeeze all the juice out of the lemon halves.
6) I like to put a handful of strawberries and blueberries in the glass too, which makes it feel even more like a treat!
