Lemonade

The sugar dissolves faster if you stir well before bringing it to the boil.

Don't cook it for too long, otherwise the syrup will become too thick and harder to dose later.

To cool it faster, place the saucepan in a cold water bath.

Freshly squeezed juice tastes most aromatic; if needed, strain it through a sieve.

Add the syrup little by little and taste in between so the lemonade doesn't become too sweet.

For extra freshness, chill the glasses briefly in the freezer beforehand.
