On a hot summer day, there’s only one solution to keep yourself cool throughout the day. An ice-cold glass of lemonade! It’s such a simple recipe any child can follow it. The entrepreneurs can even start their own lemonade stand for some extra cash. Here’s a handy lemonade recipe to get you started:  

Ingredients:
● Four lemons
● Water
● Sugar
● Mint (optional)
● Spirit of choice (optional)

Procedure:

1. Slice the lemons and squeeze the lemon juice into a pitcher. You can slice up parts of the lemon afterward to include in the mix to maximize zest.
2. Add the desired amount of water to the pitcher. More water means less zest. Place in the refrigerator to cool down.
3. While the lemon water settles, add a cup of water to a pan and let it boil.
4. Add sugar to the boiling water and stir until the sugar dissolves to create a simple syrup. You can add mint to the mix if you’d like it to have a stronger taste. 
5. Let the simple syrup mix cool down.
6. Add the desired amount of simple syrup to the lemon water depending on how sweet you want it.
7. Adults out there looking for an extra kick can choose their spirit of choice for the drink. Vodka, gin, or tequila works best. Mix it all using a shaker.
