I will make this again. It is so refreshing. I followed the recipe exactly. I served it ice cold with lemon slices and ice cubes added. This is just the best thing on a hot day!

    Deliciously lemony. I'm so pleased to have found this recipe as we love most citrus recipes. A recipe I'll certainly be making a lot next summer. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Kim. Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT 5.

    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
