A wonderful recipe from Suewho on Allrecipes.com She adds: "The secret ingredient is salt, which removes any bitterness. Don't be tempted to use reconstituted lemon juice or to add the juice until the sugar water is completely chilled!"

This was a real treat. It was definitely not bitter and only slightly sweet. I used fresh squeezed lemon juice, which it took about 5 medium size lemons to get the right amount of juice. I served it over ice, with a slice of lemon for a little extra citrus pulp. Thanks, RavynLoony. Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef.Reply
