Getting in the Summer Spirit

Now if this weather we're having at the moment isn't getting you in the summer spirit,then don't know what will.

Well, actually I might.

Homemade lemonade!!

Me and my brother made some of this deliciously summery delight and it was perfect. It started to really feel like summer (until it started raining...... Again!!!). So we thought we'd share the recipe with you.

The perfect lemonade recipe
Ingredients
1cup of water
1cup of lemon juice squeezed from fresh lemons (if you don't have enough then top up with lemon juice from a bottle)
1cup of sugar
And 3cups of cold water to dilute at the end 
1)make a syrup by heating the sugar and 1cup of water in a small saucepan, keep stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2)while the sugar is dissolving squeeze the lemons and pour the juice into a cup.
3)once the sugar is dissolved and lemons squeezed add both together into a jug then add 3cups of cold water to dilute. 


Et voila!! C'est fini!! 


Leave to cool then serve with ice and a slice of lemon.


Have a good summer!!
