Martha's Extra-Lemony Lemonade image

"A cold glass of lemonade is so refreshing on a hot summer day. My favorite recipes are full of lemon flavor. This one uses the fruit in three ways: its juice, fresh slices, and a syrup cooked with the rinds," says Martha.

This lemonade is a great way to use up extra lemons. I always have a few lemons on hand, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them.

I've made this lemonade with both regular sugar and honey. I prefer the honey version because it has a more natural sweetness.
