    Method

    • step 1

      Mix the sugar into the lemon juice until dissolved (add more sugar if you prefer a sweeter lemonade). Mix in the salt and 500ml of chilled still or sparkling water, taste and add a little more water if you prefer it more diluted. Pour into two tumblers with ice and garnish with thyme, if you like.

    Loved this! Super simple and lots of fun making it with the kids, I added the thyme to mine and it was a great addition!

    This tastes miles better than any shop bought lemonade i've ever tried, enjoy it the most on hot days spent on my balcony :)
