Old-fashioned lemonade
To make the sugar water
Step 1: measure ¾ cup of sugar into a measuring jug.
Step 2: with the help of an adult, boil water in a kettle and very carefully pour one cup of water over the sugar.
Step 3: Stir until the sugar dissolves and let the mixture cool while you make the rest of the lemonade. The sugar water will keep for several weeks in the fridge.
