Directions

    In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it cool.

    Mixing the Lemonade

    In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice, simple syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to combine.
