Simple Lemonade



 
This is the simplest and best lemonade, but technically it is lemon simple syrup.
You will see what I mean in a second, so here goes let’s make lemonade together.

Ingredients:
-a cup of water
-a cup of white sugar
-zest of 1 lemon
-juice of 1 lemon

Tools:
-a small saucepan

Pour a cup of white sugar and a cup of water into a small saucepan, and then turn on medium heat. Slowly bring the sugar & water to a boil and as the temperature rises add the zest & juice of one lemon. Once the sugar has fully dissolved into a simple syrup (do not overheat or you will end up with burnt caramel), turn off the heat and you are done.
In total it should only take 5 minutes.
After the lemon syrup has cooled, transfer it to a glass jar (Mason jar).
So whenever you want lemonade, simply add 2 Tablespoon of the syrup to a glass and add cold water 
(I prefer carbonated mineral water) and ice. Enjoy!
