Ingredients

8 large lemons

1 3/4 cup white sugar OR 1 1/2 cup of splenda (for a sugarless version)

1 3/4 cup water

1 pinch of salt

Lemon slices for garnish, when serving

Yields: 4 cups of lemon concentrate

Directions

Directions to make the lemon concentrate.

Finely grate the rind of 2 lemons.

In a saucepan (avoid aluminium pan because of the reaction with the citric acid), on the stovetop, combine the grated lemon rind, sugar, water and salt. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally. Take off the stove and let the mixture cool slightly.

In the meantime, press the juice of all the 8 lemons, then add the lemon juice to the cooled mixture and stir. Let it cool completely.

Keep this lemon concentrate in the fridge up to 3 weeks.

For serving - dilute a 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of concentrate in 3/4 to 1 cup of cold water or in a soda water. Add ice and lemon slices before serving.

Enjoy!
