Ingredients




2 lemons
1 cup sugar
water
ice

Preparation

1 Wash lemons, cut off and discard the ends, then slice. 2 Place sugar in the bottom of a 2-quart pitcher. 3 Place the lemons in with the sugar, and mash the lemons until the juice is released. (I use the flat end of a wooden rolling pin to do this.) 4 Add ice, then water to the top of the pitcher. 5 Stir and serve immediately over more ice.
