Homemade Lemonade




I normally do not like lemonade (except my Grandma Frye's), but our lemon tree has started to produce a  lot of lemons and we needed to start using them.  My sister found this recipe tonight on Pinterest and surprisingly, I actually really liked it!  In fact, our entire family loved it.  It wasn't too sweet, or too sour.  It was perfect.




Homemade Lemonade

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
2 tsp fresh grated lemon rind
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice
5 cups cold water
sliced lemons

Stir together sugar and 1/2 cup boiling water until sugar dissolves.  Stir in leon rind, lemon juice and 5 cups cold water.  Pour into a 2-quart pitcher.  Chill 8 hours.  Garnish with lemon slices.  Serve over ice.
