There are three ingredients to lemonade. Lemon juice, sugar, and cold water. The best way is to start by making your sugar into simple syrup, 2 cups granulated sugar 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 1 cup water Mix sugar, corn syrup and water in a pan and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely at room temperature. Now, it helps to have a good citrus juicer, but if you warm the lemons they put out more juice no matter what. If you pluck them right off the tree, in the summer, they'll be warm enough. Otherwise warm them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Twelve lemons are about enough for 12 glasses. Your lemonage may vary. It is all about tasting as you go now. Remember, that it should be slightly strong to the taste, because you're gonna put ice in the glass. Garnish with a slice of Lemon and stick about six maraschino cherries in each glass with some of the juice. Grown-ups have been known to add some Jack Daniels' to theirs. Hope that helps.
