Miraval Lemonade (Makes 6 8-oz servings)

Ingredients:
¾ to 1 cup cane sugar, depending on desired sweetness
1 cup water
1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (4 to 6 average-sized lemons)
2 cup cold water (to dilute)
2 cup ice (to dilute)

Instructions:

1. Heat the sugar and one cup of water together in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved completely, about 5 minutes.
2. Juice 4 to 6 lemons using a juicer or handheld citrus reamer, enough for one cup of juice. Strain out the seeds.
3. Add the lemon juice and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add the remaining 2 cups of cold water and ice. Use more or less depending on how strong you like your lemonade. Refrigerate until completely cooled, 30 to 40 minutes, or just pour over ice. If the lemonade is too sweet for your taste, add a little more lemon juice to it.
4. Serve with additional ice, as desired.
