With a bit of sun starting to show itself, I think its time for some lemonade –
Spring Lemonade Directions:
Remove wide strips of zest from 2 lemons with a vegetable peeler (do not remove the pith).
Make 2 cups simple syrup (recipe below), adding the lemon zest before heating.
Let cool, then pour into an ice-filled pitcher.
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 cups each fresh lemon juice and water, and some lemon slices.
Simple Syrup:
To make 2 cups simple syrup, bring 1 1/2cups each sugar and water to a boil, stirring until dissolved. Let cool.
Try adding a few mint leaves
