This sweet-tart lemonade is a traditional part of my Memorial Day and Fourth of July menus. Folks can't get enough of the fresh-squeezed flavor. Ingredients:
2 to 2-1/2 cups sugar |
5 cups water, divided |
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel |
1-3/4 cups lemon juice (about 6 lemons) |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, 1 cup water and lemon peel. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes.
2. Remove from the heat. Stir in lemon juice and remaining water. Pour into a pitcher and refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice. Yield: 2 quarts.
