Yummy,economic,and healthy(much healthier than fizzy drinks,thanks to lemons for their antiscorbutic and cleansing properties!) ,this 'as popular as it gets' drink is made using sugar syrup here.Not only does the syrup ensure even mixing of sugar,it also eliminates the need for tiresome stirring.

NOTE
While this recipe specifies quantities for all ingredients,cooks may not have the same experience with it.This is for two reasons.First is the tartness of lemons.There are several varieties of lemons,and some are more or less acidic than others.Secondly,lemonade is largely based on one's taste.We all seem to like different levels of sweetness and sourness.Some people do not like their lemonade much sweet(While others do) - it is refreshing for them.Others may find the same lemonade watery.Hence,while making lemonade,the key to make it perfect is to keep tasting - and you will never go wrong!
VARIATION
2. Steep 15-20 mint leaves in lemonade and refrigerate it till serving time.
