Instructions

- Take it off the heat and let it steep for ten minutes, then strain the syrup into an airtight bottle.
- Peel two of the lemons with a vegetable peeler and place the peels in a blender. Squeeze all four lemons (2 peeled lemons included) and then add the juice to the blender with the water.
- Blend everything for 30 seconds to a minute, you will get a creamy and cloudy lemonade.

- When peeling the lemons, make sure to use a vegetable peeler, as it will be easier to just get the skin instead of the fleshy white part which will make it bitter.
