Method

Wash the lemons, halve, squeeze out the juice and reserve it. Put the lemon halves in a bowl, add the sugar and the boiling water. Stir to dissolve the sugar and set aside until quite cold.

Strain into a tall jug. Add the reserved lemon juice and the orange juice. Chill until ready to serve. Then stir in the ginger ale or beer and add a few orange slices to garnish.
