How to Make Lemonade Aussie Style

  1. Combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the zest of 2 large lemons (or 1 lemon and 1 orange). Let the mixture cool completely.
  4. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible.
  5. Add the juice of 2 large lemons (or 1 lemon and 1 orange) to the strained syrup.
  6. Add 2-3 cups of chilled water or ginger ale. Stir well.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tang or more water/ginger ale for a lighter flavor.
  8. Serve immediately over ice. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint (optional).
