Tangy fresh homemade lemonade with juicy bits of pulp

2 large lemons, washed
1 c sugar
6-7 c water

1. Slice lemons as thinly as possible.

2. Put lemons and sugar into a large bowl or stainless steel pan, and mash with a potato masher until juiced. Alternately, juice lemons and combine sugar and juice.

3. Add water until lemonade is to the strength you desire. Drink fresh, or strain out seeds and rinds for longer storage.*

*Lemon rinds may be eaten, and are actually quite tasty when sliced very thinly and eaten fresh. Don't leave the rinds in your lemonade for longer than 30 minutes or so, because they will make it bitter.

Yum! This is the best lemonade you'll ever taste! Eating the fresh rinds is a nice treat, as well! This lemonade may take a little longer to make than the frozen concentrate stuff, but it's worth the work! Ours doesn't usually even make it to the fridge before it's all gone :) 10/10
