Lemons, Limes or Lurgey?

So rather then going back to bed, I decided that, since I'm uber glamour and the ultimate housewife (wait till you try my pavlovas!) and on the road to recovery (after falling mysteriously ill yesterday morning with suspected asthma/pneumonia like symptoms) - I decided to make a large jug of delicious lemon juice.

Now my lovelies, to make mama's lemon juice you need:

• 4 Large ripe lemons
• 1 Cup of sugar
• 1L of Boiling* water
• 1 sliced lemon for decoration or
• Lemon Rind
• 1x 1.5/2L Jug (An old glass milk jug or Pyrex jug is just perfect)
• Table spoon to mix

To make:
Cut all the lemons into halves. Squeeze the juice out of the lemons into the jug using your butch, well manicured lady hands or for you poofy types with more style and grace then a supermodel, you may use a lemon squeezer - making sure no pips from the lemons are in with the mixture. I will cut you if I see floaties in your drink! Fill your jug up with 500mls of hot boiling water. Add the cup of sugar as a whole. Don't try and be a scientist with all the mixing of sugar and water. It's sugar and water, you use a spoon to mix it. Add the other 500mls (that makes a litre) of water to the jug. Use a clean cup to taste. Add more water if desired.

TIP: If it's too watery, add one lemon and 1/3 cup sugar, and then 1/2 a lemon and a tablespoon of sugar every 500mls after that.

A delicious treat best served hot, and in the summer on ice with a splash of vodka!
