3. Make the lemonade: combine the syrup with lemon juice and allow to cool, then transfer to the fridge until ready to serve. When ready to serve add 3-5 cups of cold water *read notes, ice (optional) and lemon slices (optional).
4. Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
- If the lemonade is too sweet to your taste, add more water.
- No enhance the Kemon flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest to the syrup, while cooking. Then drain the syrup and leave the zest out.
