Sometimes you really need lemonade. Very very badly with what we like to call the thirst of a thousand deserts.

Good thing its really easy to make.

First you need a simple syrup.
Combine:
1/2 cup sugar (we like the white organic stuff that comes in a carton)
1/2 cup of boiling water (out of the kettle)
and stir until sugar had dissolved.

Then combine with:
the juice of 4 lemons.  

Pour over a pitcher of ice then top off with a little cold water to taste.
Garnish with mint.
Stir.

Drink out of a jam jar for added joy.
