Ingredients

• 5 lemons
• 1.25 cups white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Peel the rinds from the 5 lemons and cut them into 1/2 inch slices. Set the lemons aside.
2. 2 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.
3. 3 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.
4. 4 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.
