Homemade Lemonade

Eden and Michael often order homemade lemonade when we are at a restaurant so I knew the children would enjoy making their own.

6 large lemons - (we used 9 and increased the other quantities accordingly)
about 150g granulated sugar
1.4l boiling water

Grate the zest of half the lemons.
Juice all the lemons - note it is a lot easier and quicker doing it with a food processor than by hand.
Get everyone involved.
Add sugar, zest and lemon juice together.
Add boiling water, cover and leave overnight - we left it for about 5 hours and it still tasted great.
Strain into a jug, then serve with ice and enjoy.
