This is very nice. I have made lemonade with sugar syrup before and I've found that tasting as you go along is the only measure to get it exactly right for your personal preference, because sometimes lemons are more tart. Because of some of the other reviewers saying it was too sweet, I cut the sugar to 1 1/2 cups. I did use the microwave to heat the sugar syrup and added a tray of ice cubes to cool it down quick (in about 3 minutes). I poured the syrup and lemon juice in a jug and poured it into an empty, cleaned 3 Litre juice bottle that we just finished. I then added 8 cups of cold water from the fridge. Again, I shook the bottle at 7 cups of water, tasted, bit too sweet and tartish, so I added another cup of cold water. Perfect. If it is too sweet and you've run out of lemons, try adding more cold water and serve over ice cubes. The tip about letting the lemons sit in warm water for a few minutes really does help with juicing them.
