This is an authentic real old fashioned lemonade recipe. The recipe is a lemon concentrate to which you had cold water or soda and ice before serving. Better than any lemonade you can buy. Great on a hot summer day.

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

- lemon slices for garnish, when serving shopping list
- Yields: 4 cups of lemon concentrate shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
