HOMEMADE LEMONADE

Preparation Method :

• Put the water, sugar, and grated lemon rind into a small pan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Stir in the lemon juice, then transfer to a pitcher and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
• When the lemonade has almost finished chilling, take two glasses and rub the rims with a wedge of lemon, then dip them in sugar to frost. Put the ice cubes into the glasses.
• Remove the lemon syrup from the refrigerator, then pour it over the ice and fill with sparkling water.
• The ratio should be one part lemon syrup to three parts sparkling water. Stir well to mix.
