Directions:

1. Heat 4 cups sugar with 6 cups of water in a medium saucepan until it's dissolved. Set this in the fridge to cool.
2. Chill the lemon juice if you have the time.
3. Pour the lemon juice into a large vat. Pour in 3/4 of the syrup, then top off the vat with ice.
4. Pour in 8 cups of water (give or take), stir it around, then give it a taste. Add more syrup if it needs sweetness, or more water if it needs dilution.
5. Serve immediately!
6. Add 2 cups raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or sliced strawberries to the lemonade for different flavors.
7. Make hard lemonade by adding 2 cups light rum or tequila to the lemonade.
