Tart and tangy, this is the essential summertime drink. For a sparkling version, use soda water instead of water.
Ingredients
- 8 lemons
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 10 lemon slices
Preparation
Scrub lemons; rinse and dry. In large heatproof bowl and working with 1 lemon at a time, rub vigorously with about one-third of the sugar.
Halve and squeeze lemons to make about 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) juice; pour juice onto sugar. Add remaining sugar and squeezed lemon shells.
Cover with 3 cups (750 mL) boiling water, stirring to dissolve; let cool. Strain through cheesecloth-lined sieve, pressing out liquid. Let syrup cool. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 1 week.)
In serving pitcher, combine syrup with 2 cups (500 mL) water; stir in ice cubes. Garnish with lemon.
