Fresh Squeezed Lemonade!

One warm afternoon I was thinking to myself how much I would enjoyed some fresh squeezed lemonade.  So I went online, found a recipe, checked my fridge and went right with it!
Step One "What makes Lemonade so sweet"
*Making your own Simple Syrup*
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Water
Heat in medium saucepan until sugar is completely dissolved
-note- sugar makes water come to a boil faster, keep an eye on it

Step Two "Lemon Juice"
*Start juicing your lemons!*
4 Large Lemons
Cut in half and use a juicer.  You will need 1 Cup of Lemon Juice
- note - I do not have a strainer but I did try using a spoon to remove the seeds


Step Three "Simple meets Sour"
*Combing the simple syrup and lemon juice into a pitcher or carafe
As stated above, pour the warm simple syrup you just made into a pitcher/carafe and add the lemon juice

Step Four "Make it Drinkable"
*Adding Cold water*
Add 4 Cups of Cold Water to the mixture

Step Five "Make it Cold"
*Stick in the fridge*
Then Drink it!

Here's where I got the Recipe
