INGREDIENTS
-
5 lemons
-
1 1/4 cups white sugar
-
1 1/4 quarts water
DIRECTIONS
-
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.
