Homemade Lemonade!

So we got our bountiful basket today and I made lemonade from scratch for the first time ever (I've always used the country time mixes). It's so yummy!

Recipe:

Make a simple syrup (1 cup water + 1 cup sugar) by combining the sugar and water and boiling until the sugar is dissolved (I did it in a microwave in a glass measuring cup to save time).

Squeeze 1 cup lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

Add 4 cups ice cold water to the above ingredients and stir, then serve.

I am planning on probably doing some sort of lemon chicken recipe later this week, using the 2 other lemons I have in my fridge.
