Back in the Bunco days, a friend of mine served this at her house. I remember being so amazed at the drink's deliciousness, that I could barely count my points! This recipe has become a winter tradition at our house. After Christmas, my sister Cindy has a plethora of ginormous lemons from her tree in her backyard. For the past 5 years, we bring home as many as we can, and I get to work. This year, the kids filled up an ice chest with lemons for me to bring home. I have to say, that I haven't found anything that compares to these particular lemons, but the recipe is still awesome with ordinary, run-of-the-mill lemons. You have to try it!
First, rinse off 2 lemons. Cut off the ends of each lemon. Cut each lemon in half, then into quarters. Toss the lemon chunks in the blender along with 2 cups of water. Pulverize for about 30 seconds. It's very loud! Drain the mixture thru a strainer, discard the pulp. Pour the lemon mixture into a pitcher. Stir in 1 cup of sugar, and 2 more cups of water. Stir and add ice.
Be prepared, this is not a drink for the weak. It's so freaking yummy! I make several batches of the mixture (minus the sugar and last 2 cups of water) and stick it in the freezer. That way we can have lemonade when it's actually more than 40 degrees outside!
