    <directions>Here's what you do:
*for the sugar syrup*
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 c. sugar (I use florida crystals or evaporated cane juice)w/ 2 c. water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 10 mins. Remove from heat and let cool.
Keep any unused syrup in fridge in a covered container. It will keep for a long time.
Makes 2 1/2 c.

*for the lemonaid*
Combine 1 1/2 c. lemon juice, 1/2 c. sugar syrup, and 3 c. water. It's really sour, so you might want to add more water or syrup (My dh said more syrup, my kids said it was fine)

Repeat the same recipe and add it to an ice cube tray. Use these ice cubes in the lemonaid.
