Easy lemonade

Easy lemonade
Makes 2 litres

Fresh lemonade seems to be just the thing for picnics or barbecues, and making it couldn't be simpler. This perennial favorite requires just three ingredients: lemon juice, sugar, and water.

20 lemons
1½ cups of superfine sugar
4 cups of water

First
Pour three cups of fresh lemon juice (from about 20 lemons) through a fine sieve into a pitcher. Add two cups of superfine sugar, and stir until it has dissolved.

Second
Stir in four cups of water and some ice, and then garnish with lemon slices.
