    It's definitely tasty, but a little on the sweet side and not enough lemony tartness for my tastes. Second time around (and most definitely worth the 2nd try, I'll cut back on the sugar in the simple syrup and boost the lemons. I used 5 large lemons to get ~2 cups of lemon juice.

    A local native has a recipe to make syrup from sugar cane (a lengthy process that involves copper kettles. However, I cannot argue with the result. So much so, I included her recipe in my first novel as the ultimate glass of lemonade. Bon chance!
