There's a nice balance of sweet and tart in this refreshing summer drink. It becomes perfectly pink with the addition of grape juice. Ingredients:
4 cups water, divided |
1 cup sugar |
3 lemon peel strips |
1 cup lemon juice (about 5 lemons) |
1 tablespoon grape juice |
lemon slices and maraschino cherries, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water, sugar and lemon peel to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Discard lemon peel.
2. In a large pitcher, combine the remaining water, lemon juice, grape juice and sugar mixture. Serve over ice. Garnish with lemon slices and cherries if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
