Turn on broiler and move shelf up to the highest spot in oven.

Cut both ends off (this will allow lemons to lay flat) lemons and cut lemons in half.

Put lemons bigger side up on a clean foil-lined sheet cake pan.

Broil for 15-20 mins or until the tops are blackened (this may take less time depending on your oven)

In a 2 L pitcher add 1 cup squeezed burnt lemon juice, 3/4 cup sugar and fill with water.

Stir for about 2 minutes until sugar is dissolved.

Place in fridge to chill. Serve when cold.

*depending on the freshness and potency of your lemons you will want to taste test your beverage. You may like yours more lemony and tart or more sweet. Feel free to play with the recipe!
