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.

Good, double the batch, for the amount of work involved it is just smart to double the batch.

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!

I have made this lemonade countless times for people who have come over. It always disappears, and I always get compliments on it. I love the old-fashioned work involved in it. It tastes REAL!!

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.

Okay, okay how bout we name this pucker up lemonade cause that is exactly what you do when you drink it. This stuff is incredible, only problem I see with it is I need a lemon tree to make enough so that it will last. After reading the reviews I elected to juice the lemons first, sugar them, let em sit outside for 60 mins, poured the boiling water waited 20 mins, and BAM I had pucker up lemonade.
