This recipe works best with The Pampered Chef Quik Stir Pitcher, however a potato masher will do the same trick but take a liitle longer.

slice 2 to 3 lemons in thin slices

the sugar is more of an add to taste. if you like it more sweet add more sugar when you are done. I normally do about a cup and a half.

add a layer of lemons then add a layer of sugar. Do this until all of the lemons are covered. Wait 5 mins

Add the 4 Quarts of water and then plunge the lemons.

what you want to achieve is to stir up the sugar and squeeze the lemons.

For looks, flavor and reuse, leave the lemons in the pitcher. when its gone you can add more sugar and water for a second batch. Its not as good as the first and you need to add less sugar but its still a yummy summer drink! Happy Experimenting!
