Excellent lemon water. Very refreshing. I can't wait until the hot weather comes to make this again. It's the perfect poolside/patio drink.

WOW - try this Lemon Water and you will never like to drink any other lemon beverage. It is full of lemon flavours. I like especially the bitter notes, which makes it really refreshing. I have served it cold and diluted it with mineral water. I use one part of lemon water and one part mineral water. The making of lemon water is very easy, foolproof. The only thing you should take care of. Grate the lemons carefully. The white part of the lemon rind will add the bitter notes, so only take the pure yellow part of the lemon rind. This is great on a warm summer day.

This is great . . . I made it more concentrated, half the water and half the lemons, but the same amount of sugar (I used Splenda instead). I'm using it to make 'sweet tea' and it is delicious! Just a little goes a looooong way! Thanks for sharing
