Since I don't really know what I'm doing yet, please enjoy this recipe for lemonade concentrate. You seriously won't believe how good it tastes.

• Vegetable peeler, or microplane
• Knife
• Lemon reamer, or other kind of juicer (or your bare hands)
• Stove pot
• A bowl
• Measuring cups
• Sieve
• A pitcher (or other large container to hold the finished lemonade

• Approximately 10 small lemons
• About 1.25 US cups of granulated or cane sugar¹
• About 0.75 US cups water¹

1. Use the peeler to zest 1 or 2 of the lemons. Put the zest in the bowl.
2. Juice lemons until you have a little over 1.5 US cups of lemon juice. Pour juice into the pitcher and set aside.
3. Put the sugar into the zest bowl. Roughly mix and mash the sugar-zest around for a while.
4. Put the sugar-zest mixture into the pot along with the water. Turn on the stove, stirring to prevent burning. Let it come to a boil, then wait for about 2 minutes. All the sugar should dissolve.
5. Turn off stove and remove pot from heat. Let it cool.
6. Strain the sugary-zesty mixture through the sieve, and into the pitcher.

This is lemonade concentrate. When you want a drink, combine 1 part concentrate with 1 part water, and fine-tune to your liking. Enjoy!
