This is from Rachael Ray's Food Network Specials, Episode: Rachael Ray's Block Party. I have tweaked it just a little bit! You may easily half the recipe (or double it). Enjoy!

Time 15m

Yield 1 gallon

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 cups water, plus more as needed
1 vanilla bean
2 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 24 lemons)
lemon slice (to garnish, or wedges)
water (or club soda to make it sparkling lemonade!)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, and 2 cups water and place over medium-high heat. Cut the vanilla bean in 1/2 lengthwise, and using the back of the knife, scrape the vanilla seeds from the pod and add to the saucepan, along with the pod.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Put the lemon juice into a gallon jar or pitcher. Pour the sugar syrup through a strainer into the pitcher and discard pod.
  • Add water or club soda to equal 1 gallon and stir well.
  • Serve over ice with lemon wheels or wedges.
