Twelve Items or Less: Recipe of the week Sunshine in a Glass

3 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup boiling water
3 cups lemon juice (about 16 lemons)
2 tablespoon grated lemon peel

Directions

To get best juice from lemons, roll firmly in counter before cutting in half. (This is a great part to let little people do!)
To make simple syrup, dissolve sugar in saucepan in boiling water. Cool. Add simple syrup, lemon juice and peel to mason jar and mix well. Screw lid on jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Yield: 5-1/2 cups syrup (number of batches varies depending on concentration of lemonade).
To prepare lemonade: For 1 serving, combine 1/3 cup syrup and 3/4 cup cold water in a glass; stir well. For 8 servings, combine 2-2/3 cups syrup and 5 cups cold water in a 2-qt. pitcher; stir well.
