Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 lemons
1 ¼ cups white sugar
1 ¼ quarts water

Steps:

  • Peel the rinds from the 5 lemons and cut them into 1/2 inch slices. Set the lemons aside.
  • Place the rinds in a bowl and sprinkle the sugar over them. Let this stand for about one hour, so that the sugar begins to soak up the oils from the lemons.
  • Bring water to a boil in a covered saucepan and then pour the hot water over the sugared lemon rinds. Allow this mixture to cool for 20 minutes and then remove the rinds.
  • Squeeze the lemons into another bowl. Pour the juice through a strainer into the sugar mixture. Stir well, pour into pitcher and pop it in the fridge! Serve with ice cubes.
