Lemonade

Today is the first day of summer and it is my favorite time of year. When I was a child we always visited our grandparents during the summer. I loved eating my grandma's (Eula Mae Hix) biscuits, chocolate pudding pie made from scratch, and drinking her homemade lemonade. It is still the best lemonade I have ever tasted.
Here is Eula Mae's recipe...enjoy!

Heat 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar in a pot until sugar is dissolved to make the simple syrup.
Let the simple syrup cool. Add 2 cups of ice cold water. Add the juice of 8 lemons.
Stir and serve over ice.
