Lemonade

Use one cup of sugar if you plan to serve lemonade with a simple syrup. To extract the most juice from lemons, microwave them at HIGH for about 15 seconds.
How to Make It
Step 1
Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in sugar and grated lemon rind, stirring until sugar is dissolved; remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and ice water.
Step 2
Limeade: Substitute 1 Tbsp. grated lime rind for lemon rind and 1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice for lemon juice, and proceed with recipe as directed.

Very tasty. Followed recipe without altering. Rind added visual appeal and flavor, but most people can't juice 13 lemons and grate two in ten minutes.Takes longer to make than the recipe says, but worth it.

Even using bottled lemon juice, this made a wonderful & refreshing lemonade. I used about 1.25 cup of sugar & sliced a lemon to toss in at the end instead of zesting the peel. Very tasty. Just the right amount of sweet & tart. This recipe will be permanently affixed on the fridge from now on.
