Homemade Lemonade Syrup Concentrate makes a refreshing and delicious drink that is sure to impress everyone who tries it. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a treat that will leave them asking for more. The flavor is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness and tartness that you adjust to your taste by adding more or less syrup to water. It's sure to become a fast favorite in your household.

6 lemons, peeled
rinds (yellow portion) of 3 lemons
3 lb. sugar
1 oz. citric acid
1/2 oz. tartaric acid
3 quarts boiling water

Wash lemons. Using a sharp paring knife or citrus zester, remove the yellow portion of 3 of the lemons, leaving behind any of the white (which is bitter). Squeeze the lemon juice from all 6 lemons, removing seeds.

Place the sugar, citric and tartaric acid into a large stainless steel or enamel pan and pour over boiling water.

Stir until the sugar has melted. Add lemon juice and rinds, which have been cut into very thin strips.

Cover the mixture and put in a cool place. Allow to stand overnight.

The next morning, ladle into jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes for long term storage, or keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.

To serve, dilute with water (to your taste) or add to seltzer water or club soda as a flavoring. Add a few drops of grenadine or strawberry syrup for pink lemonade.
