So simple

"I made this for my family b.b.q today it was great! I didn't need 12 lemons, it only took 6 for me. I also added 3 more tablespoons of sugar. My family said that even with the extra sugar it was quite tart and yummy. I would definately make this again, thank you for the recipe (^__^)" - Alexx37

Was a bit tart without extra sugar. Adults loved it, but the kids are definitely not used to fresh squeezed anything...LOL. This was a great addition to Easter.

To make the sugar even easier to dissolve, heat the 1 cup of water up (don't need it boiling, however).
