Preparation:

Step 1
• Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zest from 2 lemons in wide strips, then juice enough lemons to make 2 cups. Chill the juice.
Step 2
• In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, lemon zest, and 1.5 cups water. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Pour into a pitcher and refrigerate, about 1 hour.
Step 3
• Remove the lemon zest from the syrup. Pour 3 cups of cold water and lemon juice into a pitcher and stir. Pour 1 cup of lemonade into a bowl and add 3 cups of water. Pour the lemonade mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Refrigerate the pitcher of lemonade until ready to serve.
Step 4
• Add a few ice cubes to the pitcher along with the lemon slices. Serve the homemade lemonade in glasses with the remaining ice cubes.
