When I made this, I was looking forward to the lemon oil/lemon rind giving it a nice kick, but the taste was just overpowering. I used the corrrect amount of sugar but it also seemed a bit overly sweet as well.

This lemaonade is amazing as is. and to make it greater i used 4 lemons and 1 grapefruit, (peel and juice), it makes a great pink lemonade. I have done it with 3 lemons and 2 limes, quite sour but good. and today i used 4 lemones and 2 clementine oranges. yum! AND the rinds that are left over after taken out are good if sprinkled with sugar and let dry a bit, great candied peel!

This is an amazing lemonade. It takes some time to peel the lemons but it's worth it. But the best part is the "lemon suger." I ould make this anytie you have 5 leftover lemons

This is the way lemonade is supposed to taste. Wow, wow, wow. Next time, I would stir the peels, sugar, and hot water, as the sugar didn't all melt on its own just from steeping and it wants to stick to the peels. Used a veggie peeler (the kind that looks like a disposable razor) to easily get just the yellow part of the peel.

This lemonade tasted wonderful. I cut the sugar to 1/2 cup and the amount was perfect.

Excellent recipe. My only change was that I grated the rind off (rind only, not the pith-the white part of peel) and put the sugar in with that. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly and it was wonderful. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.

This is a great recipe and I will be making it again. I'm going to cut back a bit on the sugar, I like lemonade with a bit more whang! Using the lemon peel really adds a richer lemon flavor. Can't wait to hand a glass to my husband when he gets home! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe and thanks to those who forwarned me NOT to mess the sugar and peels. I was tempted........ :)

This was WONDERFUL! I will make again and again. Next time I will try harder to not get any of the white under the peel to avoid a bitter after-taste, as others suggested.

This lemonade is amazing!! It is the BEST lemonade I have EVER had!! It has the perfect amount of sweet and sour! I miss read the directions and added 1 1/4 CUPS of water instead of QUARTS. It was an easy fix, I just added a lot more water!! VERY VERY reccomended! :)
