This unique blend of ingredients makes a truely unforgetable lemonade drink from scratch. The secret: It's in the "Zest" of the outer portion of the lemon and orange. Use a fine grater to remove the peel. Stay away from the white, cause the white pith will give your dish a bitter undertaste. Smaller lemons usually have more juice than larger lemons. TIP! Soak your lemons in hot water before you squeeze them! The pulp is more engorged in a warm lemon than a cold one and this lets you squeeze more juice out of them. Ten minutes in a bowl of hot tap water works great.

Delicious! I must admit, I used limes in place of lemons(cost issue). I loved the zest in it! Just the right amount of sweet and tart. Thanks Logman! Made for Pick a Chef(PAC) over in the contest forum!
