old fashioned lemonade
from children’s book - things to make and do 
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 cups water
1/2 - 2/3 cup lemon juice
Bring 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a boil, continue boiling for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat, adding cold water, lemon juice to taste, and ice cubes.  For an added incorporation of lemons make these super easycitrus ice cubes (using lemons, of course!) to clink around that cold fresh glass.
