Lemonade

- Measure out 5 cups of cold water in a large pitcher, add in the lemon & sugar mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Stir in the 2 cups of ice.
- Taste and add more water If needed, but remember when the ice melts it will be diluted a tad more.
Fruit Syrup
- In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine the fruit and sugar.
- Stir, as the pan heats up the sugar will start to melt down and the fruit will let off liquid. Continue stirring and mashing the fruit.
- Add 1 tbsp of water to the pan and allow the mixutre to boil for 3-5 minutes* or until the fruit is very soft.
- Run the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds, skin or pulp. Allow the syrup to cool slightly before mixing your drink together.
