Used the lemon zester on the lemons; mixed with the sugar and stirred. Juiced the lemons and put in the refrigerator to get all the juice while waiting for the sugar/zest mixture. Added the boiling water and, when cooled the required time, added the juice and drained over a mini colander to keep the zest out of the finished product. Excellent flavor.

A warning to those like myself who use "Sugar in the Raw" instead of white sugar: it will make this lemonade turn brown! But it still has a really nice flavor in spite of the weird iced tea color, so five stars for the recipe itself! I would definitely make this again-- with regular white sugar.

This lemonade is so worth the effort! My father in law is a lemonade fanatic and begs me to make this. If you like the real deal... look no further!

I made this with my fresh lemons and limes I had just lying in the fridge. Yes, limes! I only had 4 lemons and the recipe calls for 5 and someone once told me that about 3 limes makes 1 lemon...so I added 4 lemons and four limes. Its pretty good...but it tastes a little limey...guess if you like it though you could try it like I did! I give this a 3 only because of my addings.

So refreshing! I had forgotten how great old fashioned lemonade tasted when all we'd made for years was the mix stuff. This is very easy and tastes great.

Wow, really delicious and refreshing. We were just given a bag of lemons from a friend and we wondered what we could do with them. Now we know.

DELICIOUS!! This is the second time I've made this in the last week. My family LOVED it so much I couldn't get a photo before it was all gone! This does take a little time but has so much lemon flavor. I used a potato peeler and cut the "1 slices of the outer lemon. I added double the water because it was too tart for our family following the recipe exactly! Next time, I will only use 1/2 the sugar with the lemon pieces, and try adding agave nectar to sweeten to our family preference. I think it would be fun to try this recipe using oranges!

I halved this lemonade recipe the other day to test it out... it was the best lemonade I've ever tasted so I'm making some more!!! Time consuming yes, but it is worth it!! The only thing I changed was a little less sugar because I like it a bit tart and I zested (long strands) the lemons to get the rind.

This lemonade is delicious! I peeled the leom with a vegie peeler, and then followed directions exactly. It was kind of strong, which we liked, since it's perfect after it's in a glass of ice for a few minutes. I had to make 3 batches this weekend, and everyone raved.

This is a great recipe. A little time consuming though. I took the advice of one of the reviewers and peeled the lemons making sure to take off as much of the membrane as possible. I think next time I will grate the lemons. (easier to keep out the membrane). I also added limes to the recipe. I doubled the recipe, and added 3 limes to it. I also added a little extra water. By the time you get it all together you get about a gallon. My family loved it! I can't wait to try it using other fruits.

I reduced the sugar a bit in mine... I like my lemonade *very* tart. Delicious! This is a very simple recipe and very easy to customize as well. Try using lemons and limes, makes a great summer combination!

I like me lemonade good and strong, so I used some extra lemons when I made my first batch. It ended up actually being too strong. I suspect this recipe will satisfy the lemon lovers like me out there exactly as stated in the recipe. The flavor truly is incredible, like peeling a fresh lemon!

Great homemade lemonade recipe! Leaves a very refreshing, cool taste in your mouth. My family loved the now discontinued Kool-Aid flavor "Lemon Ice" which left your mouth feeling cold - this recipe comes very close to that but in a much better way! Thanks for the recipe!

SOOOO GOOD! There are three people in my home (including me), and I had to make two DOUBLE batches in two days because it was so popular! Two extra things that I did that seemed to make it even yummier was instead of just laying the rinds in the sugar, I mashed them into the sugar with a mallet for a minute or two. That REALLY got the sugar into the rinds to pick up the oils. Also, instead of squeezing the juice out of the lemons I simply tossed the slices into a blender...then strained it. That way, none of the seeds got through, but you got the maximum amount of juice! I love this recipe...YUM.
