    The best lemonade

    Now that it's summer time, my yearly cravings for lemonade is in full effect. This year, however, I've started making lemonades sweetened with Simple Syrup. It's definitely the best way to make sweetened drinks because the sugar is already dissolved. It's really easy to make a simple syrup and store it in the fridge for a few weeks (if it lasts that long).

    How to make Simple Syrup:

    1. In a sauce pan, add 1 cup of water
    2. Add 1 cup of sugar
    3. bring to a boil and stir occasionally
    4. Once all sugar is dissolved, let syrup cool
    The ratio is simply 1:1, so if you want to make more or less, just keep the ratio. (i've seen some recipes using a stronger 1:2 water:sugar ratio, but that's up to you to try out, i personally like the 1:1)


    For the lemonade, i just add the syrup (probably close to 1/4 cup), juice of one lemon, and water. easy!

    The first pic is of what's left of the syrup and the second is my cup after i just finished an excellent glass of Lemonade.
