Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar and bring to a low simmer, making sure the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let the syrup come to room temperature.
Once cooled, pour the simple syrup into a serving pitcher and add the lemon juice.
Keep in the fridge until you're ready to serve and then add it to ice. Enjoy!

Notes

If the lemonade is too sour, add a little extra water. But keep in mind that you want your lemonade to be pretty strong so that when you add ice, it isn't too diluted.
