Method:
1. Put the grated lemon peel, sugar, and water in a saucepan and bring slowly to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. As soon as the sugar is dissolved and the syrup begins to bubble, take it off the heat. Half-cover and leave until cold.
2. Squeeze the lemons and add the juice to the cold syrup. Strain into a bowl, cover and chill.
3. Transfer the lemonade to a glass pitcher filled with ice cubes and add the lemon slices and mint. Dilute with sparkling water on a ratio of about 1 part syrup to 1 part water.
Serves 6-8
From cool drinks for hot days
