MARTHA'S EXTRA-LEMONY LEMONADE

Steps:
- Juice halved lemons (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). In a small saucepan, bring sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add lemon rinds; cook over medium until mixture is syrupy, about 12 minutes. Strain; let cool completely.
- Muddle mint with syrup in a pitcher. Stir in juice and 4 cups cold water. Top with ice and lemon slices; serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemon juice whenever possible. Bottled lemon juice can be more acidic and bitter than fresh lemon juice. If you do use bottled lemon juice, be sure to dilute it with water before adding it to your lemonade.
- Add sugar or honey to taste. Lemonade can be made as sweet or tart as you like. Start with a small amount of sweetener and add more to taste.
- Use sparkling water or club soda for a fizzy lemonade. This is a great way to make a refreshing summer drink.
- Add fresh herbs or fruit to your lemonade for a unique flavor. Mint, basil, and ginger are all great additions to lemonade. You can also add berries, citrus fruits, or melons.
- Serve lemonade chilled or over ice. Lemonade is best served cold, so be sure to chill it before serving. You can also serve it over ice for a refreshing drink.

Lemonade is a delicious and refreshing drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to stay hydrated on a hot day, and it's also a good source of vitamin C.
