1 1/2 cup sugar water
1 rind 1 lemon, thin shavings
1 1/2 cup lemon juice
Combine sugar, water and lemon rind; bring to boiling and simmer 5 min. Cool, add lemon juice, strain. Yield: enough syrup for 20 servings of lemonade.
To make lemonade, dilute as follows: 1 tb lemonade syrup per 1 cup ice water.
My note, diet version: Boiled 1/2 tsp orange peel in 1/3 c water in the microwave, added 1/2 cup lemon juice and the equivalent of 1/2 c liquid sugar substitute. Strained into a jar and added 4 cups of water.
