Steps:
- Cut lemons in half lengthwise and slice thinly, as if for garnish.
- Mash them with the sugar and salt in a large, deep bowl or crock with an old-fashioned potato masher or heavy wooden spoon until the slices give up their juice, the sugar is dissolved and the juice is syrupy, about 5 minutes.
- Pour about half the lemon slices into a sieve over a bowl or pot, pressing the solids to release as much liquid as possible.
- Discard the solids and transfer the liquid to a serving pitcher.
- Repeat the process with the remaining lemons.
- Stir in the water until blended.
- Add ice cubes or chill, stirring just before serving over ice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine sugar and lemon zest in a bowl. Using your hands, rub zest into sugar to release the natural oils of the zest. Add flour and mix well.
- Whip in buttermilk, lemon juice, eggs, butter, and lemon extract. Pour batter into pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until center is slightly jiggly in center, 50 to 65 minutes. Custard will continue to set as pie cools.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is essential for achieving the best flavor in Amish-style lemonade. Choose lemons that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, unblemished skin.
- Zest the lemons: The zest of the lemons adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the lemonade. Use a microplane or a fine grater to remove the zest from the lemons, being careful not to grate the white pith.
- Use filtered water: Filtered water will help to remove any impurities or minerals that can affect the taste of the lemonade. If you don't have a water filter, you can let tap water sit overnight before using it.
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste: The amount of sugar in Amish-style lemonade is a matter of personal preference. If you like your lemonade tart, use less sugar. If you prefer a sweeter lemonade, use more sugar.
- Chill the lemonade before serving: Amish-style lemonade is best served chilled. You can chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving, or you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Amish-style lemonade is a refreshing and flavorful summertime treat that is easy to make at home. With its simple ingredients and bright, citrusy flavor, Amish-style lemonade is a perfect drink for any occasion. Whether you are hosting a party or just looking for a cool and refreshing drink to enjoy on a hot day, Amish-style lemonade is sure to be a hit.
