Water, sugar and lemon; those are the basic ingredients for a good lemonade. The key so that the sugar does not precipitate and the lemonade remains stable, is to prepare a previous syrup before incorporating the lemon juice. Part of these lemons can be substituted for lime, if you like the acidity of this fruit, to your liking!
