Lemon Syrup

Name: Lemon Syrup
Ingredients: 500 ml (2 cups) freshly squeezed lemon juice; 400 ml to 500 ml sugar, depending how sweet you like it

Deliciously tangy, ice cold lemon syrup is the best thirst quencher on a warm summer day. A sprig of mint and a slice of lemon add a festive touch.

Method

Dissolve the sugar in the lemon juice over low heat. Bring it to a rappid boil and remove from the heat. When cooled down, pour it into a glass bottle and store in the refrigerator.
Serve the lemon juice diluted with ice water to your own taste (I like1 part lemon juice to 3 parts water). Add ice cubes, a sprig of mint and a slice of lemon.
