My favorite recipes are full of lemon flavor. This one uses the fruit in three ways: its juice, fresh slices, and a syrup cooked with the rinds," says Martha. Ingredients 8 lemons, halved, plus 1, thinly sliced, for serving 1 ½ cups sugar 16 sprigs mint Directions Juice halved lemons (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). In a small saucepan, bring sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add lemon rinds; cook over medium until mixture is syrupy, about 12 minutes. Strain; let cool completely. Muddle mint with syrup in a pitcher. Stir in juice and 4 cups cold water. Top with ice and lemon slices; serve. Print
