Darlings, now squeaky-clean hands please – Ta very muchly!

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon.

Measure the cold water, then pour in the lemon juice and stir (TIP: make sure you strain the juice to remove bits of flesh. Do not pour directly into the water)

Add the caster sugar and mix well with a spoon. Add more if too tart.

Now the fun bit! Plop 1/4 flat teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda into the lemon water. It will start to fizz and froth immediately, but still, give it a quick stir to evenly distribute the powder.

Darlings, you see I told you so, it’s ‘easy peasy lemon squeezy’!

Now, it’s time to enjoy your creation – fill a glass tumbler with ice, followed by the lemonade, throw in a few lemon segments, then decorate with a twist of lemon – Voila!
