Yield Makes 6 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 lemons, trimmed, halved crosswise, and seeded
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped, pod reserved
1 1/2 to 2 cups club soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place lemons, cut side up, in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet or a large baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar, then add the water and vanilla seeds and pod. Roast until edges of lemons are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool.
  • Squeeze the juice and pulp from lemons into a blender. Remove vanilla pod, and add syrup in the skillet to the blender. Puree, then strain through a sieve into a pitcher, pressing to extract liquid and some pulp.
  • Fill glasses with ice. Pour 3/4 cup lemonade into each glass. Top with 1/4 cup club soda. (Or cover, and refrigerate lemonade for up to 3 days.)

This lemonade is a great way to use up extra lemons. I always have a few lemons lying around, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

I didn't have any vanilla beans on hand, so I used vanilla extract instead. It still turned out great!
