Recipe courtesy of a member of MSN House & Home
Ingredients
Makes about 2 quarts (8 servings)
1 cup water
1-1/2 cups sugar
15 to 18 medium lemons (3 cups juice)
5 cups cold water
1 lemon, washed and thinly sliced
14 small fresh mint sprigs
Preparation
For the sugar syrup, bring water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring
occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Pour into a bowl. Cool.
Microwave 5 or 6 lemons at a time on High 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, just until warm to
the touch. Cut lemons in half and squeeze juice. Discard seeds and transfer juice
and pulp to a large pitcher. Repeat with remaining lemons. Stir in cooled syrup and
water.
Measure 1-1/2 cups lemonade mixture in a 2-cup glass measure. (Stir sliced lemon
into remaining lemonade mixture; cover and set aside.) Arrange one sprig of mint
per cube in an ice-cube tray; pour in the 1-1/2 cups lemonade mixture. Freeze the
lemonade ice-cube tray 4 hours, until firm. Cover and refrigerate lemonade.
Pour lemonade into tall glasses over ice cubes.
