I got this out of a fantasy series – He Who Fights with Monsters – where the lead character is named Jason Asano. If you are curious, the link below is an online version to the first book. It is, without question, the best lemonade I have ever made.

Note: The author thought it was good enough that he has a sidebar where he gives the recipe. And it is that good.

Ingredients

  • 6 lemons
  • 1 1/4 Cups sugar
  • 5 Cups water

Steps

  1. Wash lemons until not waxy.
  2. Peel yellow zest from lemons
  3. Juice lemons and save juice for last step.

  8. Strain and then let cool.
