Directions:

1. Wash lemons thoroughly then roll them on a firm surface to soften them and release their juice.

2. Cut 8 lemons into slices and place with the sugar in a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the lemons so that they release their juice and the sugar dissolves. Strain mixture through a sieve into a clean jug.

3. Add 2 cups of the lemon mixture to a large jug and top with 8 cups of water. Stir to combine.

4. Store in fridge until ready to serve. To serve, pour into glasses, slice remaining lemons and garnish each glass with a slice of lemon.
