TOP TIPS

Add grated lemon rind to the sugar solution and allow to difuse while cooling. This will add a more zingly lemony tatse.

Prick the lemons gently with a fork and heat in the microwave on full for 30 seconds. Then roll the lemons with your hands before juicing, as this will give you more juice.

If wanted, use some of the lemonade to make the ice cubes with....mmmmmm
