Homemade Lemonade

makes 12 cups/prep 5 minutes/chill 1 hour

12 large lemons
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 lemon sliced for garnish

Microwave the lemons for 10 seconds before cutting them to get more juice easily from them. Cut them in half and juice until there is 3 cups of lemon juice. In a large pitcher combine juice and 8 cups cold water and sugar. Chill at least 1 hour. Stir and garnish with the lemon slices and ice.
