Method

Remove the zest of the lemons with a peeler, avoiding the white pith, then juice the lemons. Place the zest in a medium saucepan with the sugar and 400ml water.
Place on a low heat and bring to the boil slowly, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once the syrup is boiling, add the lemon juice and immediately remove from the heat. Leave until completely cool, then strain into a bottle or clean jug and chill until needed.
To serve, mix with chilled soda or sparkling water and serve over ice with extra lemon slices, if liked.

Tip: You can make the lemonade syrup base up to 3 days ahead.
