"This slightly bitter flavor is more refreshing on a hot summber day than sweet lemonade. Posted for Zaar World Tour 2006. Cook time is cooling and chilling time."

I will make this again. It is so refreshing. I followed the recipe exactly. I served it ice cold with lemon slices and ice cubes added. This is just the best thing on a hot day! -
Deliciously lemony. :) I'm so pleased to have found this recipe as we love most citrus recipes. A recipe I'll certainly be making a lot next summer. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Kim. Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT 5. -
I am a lemon lover so I had to try this water and it didn't disappoint!! Just loved it and it was so refreshing on 90 degree May day!! I did add a little ice cold water but no need for more sugar for me!! Thanks Kim for a great recipe!! Made for ZWT5. -
Very refreshing! I love it. The grating of the rinds is time consuming. I wish there was an easier way. Other than that, this is going into my keeper file. Will make lemon water from now on. -
