Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Combine the sugar and 250 ml water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the liquid just starts to simmer, 3-4 min.

2. 2

   Remove from the heat and leave the sugar water to cool completely, about 15 min.

3. 3

   Squeeze the lemons and strain out the seeds to get 350 ml of lemon juice.

4. 4

   Pour the cold water into a large pitcher. Add the lemon juice and most of the sugar water and stir.

5. 5

   Taste, then add the remaining sugar water until it is as sweet as you like. Add a splash more lemon juice if it is too sweet.

6. 6

   Chill for 30 min if time allows. Serve over ice with lemon slices.
