Heat the still water in a small pan and dissolve the sugar completely to make simple syrup. Set aside to cool in the fridge.
Juice the lemons — either use a sieve or leave in the small bits of fruit depending on what consistency you like.

Once the syrup is completely cooled, add the lemon juice, transfer to a pitcher and top up with the sparkling water. Mix well and serve with ice and lemon slices.
