When life (or my fridge) hands you lemons...

Every time I try a new recipe that involves lemon or lime, I buy several.  My idea is often that I'll probably make it again.  The last time I used a lemon it was only for its zest, so it was sitting in my fridge for a week or two all sad and neglected and bald.  But still juicy! So I decided to make lemonade.  In addition, I prepared simple syrup from water and sugar.

Lemonade
1 cup sugar
1 cup water (for syrup)
2-3 cups water, or as desired (to dilute)
3 lemons, juiced (can use more or less)

Directions: Place the water and sugar in a heavy saucepan.  Heat with occasional stirring until all the sugar has been dissolved. Meanwhile, procure the juice from the lemons.  In a bottle or desired container, pour the syrup, lemon juice*, and begin to add water.  Continue to dilute the juice by taste.  Shake up, and serve.

*feel free to strain the lemon juice, but I kind of like it when it has pulp and seeds in it.

Because I want to start taking fancier photos (props, instagram), I decided to coat the rim of my glass in sugar.  All I did was run the glass under water for a bit and then turned it into some sugar poured out onto a bowl.  Klassy.  With a "K."
