Homemade Lemonade

With the weather being so unbelievably nice and how a decent summer should be-I decided to make Homemade Lemonade today! I've never actually made Homemade Lemonade but the idea really appeals to me. I think of all those 1950's housewives in floral dresses adorned with pearls, effortlessly juicing lemons while tending to all their other daily chores!

I discovered that lemonade making is incredible easy and really rewarding! The first icy-cold sip is heavenly and so satisfying. Yes juicing the lemons is tedious-but sitting outside in the glorious sun listening to 'She&Him-Volume Two'passes the time quickly!

Homemade Lemonade consists of four ingredients-water, sugar,lemons and plenty of ice. You begin by making a sugar syrup. Which simply is equal quantities of sugar and water dissolved together in a pot over the heat and boiled for 3 minutes. Sugar syrup keeps really well up to six months well sealed in the fridge.

I had some strawberries, raspberries and left over lemons in the fridge. I used these to decorate the glasses and drop in on top of the Homemade Lemonade-Delicious!
