1½ kilos (3½ lb) sugar. Granulated.

Dissolve the sugar in 6 pints of boiling  water and pour over the leaves. Allow to stand overnight and strain into a demijohn.
Add the juice of two lemons, yeast and yeast  nutrient and shake well. Add the remainder of the cold water ( maintaining a temperature of  21° C) , insert bung and airlock and ferment to a finish.
