Nothing beats homemade lemonade, and it takes ten minutes. Make the syrup first so the sugar dissolves completely and the drink stays clear.
Ingredients

- 150 g sugar
- 150 ml water
For the lemonade
- 300 ml fresh lemon juice (about 6 large lemons)
- 900 ml cold water
- A large handful of fresh mint
- Ice
- Lemon slices, to serve
Method
- Heat the sugar and water in a small pan, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Let the syrup cool.
- Squeeze the lemons and strain out the pips.
- Bruise the mint gently with the back of a spoon in a large jug.
- Add the lemon juice, syrup and cold water and stir well.
- Chill, then serve over ice with lemon slices and extra mint.
