Best Lemonade Ever

This lemonade is some of the best I have ever

Put lemons in microwave for 20-30 seconds

Roll lemons back and forth a few times

Lemons are easy to squeeze and they come out clean

by putting in microwave and rolling them.

Put juice in fridge and keep cool until ready to make

Put sugar in pan

Add 1 cup of water

Bring to boil- Remove from heat and let cool

Then put in fridge (right next to the Moscato) and let get cold

Pour lemon juice in pitcher

Pour cold sugar water in pitcher

Add 7 cups water and mix well

I added lemon slices and fresh mint from my garden

Enjoy!

 1 3/4 cups white sugar

(I used 11/2 cups sugar but next time I will try the 13/4 cups)

 8 cups water

In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups water.
