Steps:
- Cut 1 lemon in half, and take 1 half and juice it either by hand or using a lemon juicer. Pour it into a tall glass, then take the other half and juice that half and pour into the glass.
- With the other lemon cut into fine slices and place into the pint of cold water. Leave for 5-10 minutes. Then remove the lemon slices and squeeze by hand into the tall glass.
- Place a sieve over a bowl and pour the lemon juice and the water through it. Then mix with a fork for a few minutes while slowly adding the sugar a bit at a time. Pour in the citric acid. The more sugar you add the sweeter it will be.
- For best serving condition, leave the juice over night in the fridge to keep cold. And Enjoy.

Steps:
- Peel the rinds from the 5 lemons and cut them into 1/2 inch slices. Set the lemons aside.
- Place the rinds in a bowl and sprinkle the sugar over them. Let this stand for about one hour, so that the sugar begins to soak up the oils from the lemons.
- Bring water to a boil in a covered saucepan and then pour the hot water over the sugared lemon rinds. Allow this mixture to cool for 20 minutes and then remove the rinds.
- Squeeze the lemons into another bowl. Pour the juice through a strainer into the sugar mixture. Stir well, pour into pitcher and pop it in the fridge! Serve with ice cubes.
