Juice them, then freeze the juice into cubes with a silicone mold. Fresh lemon juice year round!

6 lemons, 5 cups water, 1.25 cups sugar.

Use vegetable peeler to peel zest off lemons. Put in bowl, mix with sugar, let sit overnight. Sugar will pull out lemon oils.

Heat water, mix with sugar / peel mix and strain out peels. Let cool.

Juice lemons and add to sugar water. Cool. Serve over ice.

Best lemonade of all time.

Edited boil water to heat water. I usually boil in kettle and let sit for a bit. Idea is that hot water dissolves more sugar faster. It also seems to not precipitate out or get grainy later.
