The Other Sarah's SOTU Lemonade

So, if we get lemons—let’s make lemonade!

1/4 cup lemon juice
3/8 cup sugar
1 1/2 pints boiling water
Ice

Pour the boiling water over the sugar. Stir until dissolved. Stir in juice. Serve over ice.

Or, for the SOTU—make a double batch. Stir in half of a fifth of black-label Jack. Serve over ice.

But I think Sarah forgot the last two steps:

Empty glass.

Throw glass at television set.
