Method

  1. Squeeze the lemons and strain the juice well.

  2. Make a concentrated syrup by boiling the sugar with the water until fully dissolved, then leave to cool.

  3. Mix the juice with the syrup to make a strong concentrate, to be diluted later with water or ice when serving.

  4. Store in airtight bottles in the fridge and serve cold, diluted with water.
