Lemonade

6 servings

15 minutes

The simplest and most natural recipe for the main summer drink is lemon juice, sugar, sparkling water and ice, nothing extra. It is easy to prepare, and you can change it endlessly. Mix lemon with orange and sugar syrup ( such a drink will already be called aranciata), throw mint or tarragon into the decanter, or even dilute the lemonade not with water, but with sparkling wine.
