Homemade Lemonade

Nothing means summer quite like a good old fashioned glass of homemade lemonade.  I made some for my family for Memorial Day.

 Juice 8 lemons.  This should produce 1 1/2 cups of lemon juice.
Add 1 1/3 cups of sugar to a pot and 1 cup of water. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool.
Add lemon juice and 8 cups of water to a large pitcher. Stir in the simple syrup.  Chill and serve over lots of ice.

It's very easy to make and oh so good!
