Vintage Lemonade

Ingredients

  • 5 lemons
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/4 quarts water

Directions

Peel the rinds from the 5 lemons and cut them into 1/2 inch slices. Set the lemons aside.

Place the rinds in a bowl and sprinkle the sugar over them. Let this stand for about one hour, so that the sugar begins to soak up the oils from the lemons.
