Homemade Fresh Lemonade

When I'm at the Iowa State Fair each year I HAVE to get a glass of fresh lemonade.  Well...My husband and I had family over for Memorial Day weekend and I made fresh lemonade.  It sure was good!  Everyone that tried it seemed to really like it!

 The recipe made half a gallon.
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind <I grated one entire lemon rind and used all of the gratings>
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice which equals 8 large lemons
5 cups water

Stir together sugar and boiling water until sugar dissolved. Stir in lemon rind, lemon juice and water.  Chill. Enjoy the wonderful tasting lemonade!
