Question

【題目】 Homemade lemonade goes great with outdoor spring and summer entertaining. Follow the instructions to serve at your next picnic or barbecue.

【1】 This will make it easier to squeeze（擠）the juice from the fruit. Warm lemons by placing in the microwave. First poke（刺） the skin of the lemon with a fork, being careful not to poke all the way through the skin to the flesh. Place the lemon(s) in the microwave on high for 20 to 30 seconds. 【2】Allow them to sit in the hot water for 30 seconds.

After the lemons have been warmed, roll them on a solid surface. Keep rolling until you feel the flesh softening. After rolling the lemons, cut them in half crosswise. Place one half of the lemon on the juicer, apply pressure and twist the lemon to remove the juice. 【3】

Remove all the seeds from the juicer once you have finished. The extra pulp（果漿）that has collected in the bottom of the juicer can be added to the lemon juice once the seeds have been removed, unless pulp-free juice is required. If it is necessary to use pulp-free juice, strain juice to separate any pulp that may have gotten into the juice.

In a saucepan, bring cup of water to a boil and then add cup of sugar. Continue to cook over medium low heat until sugar has completely dissolved. 【4】 Stir to mix thoroughly and then allow the mixture to cool.
