What you need:
10 ripe lemons
1 cup sugar
1 cup water (for syrup)
more water (to dilute)
Slice lemons in half. Squeeze into a small bowl until you have made a cup of lemon juice. Set extra lemons aside.
Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat to create a simple syrup. While the two are heating, pour lemon juice into the bottom of a pitcher. When the syrup is ready, add that, and dilute to taste with water.
Slice the remaining lemons into disks. Add these to the pitcher, too. Refrigerate at least 40 minutes.
