It's worth squeezing the lemons for this concentrate. Keep it
bottled in the refrigerator as an instant mix for long refreshing
coolers in summertime and for piping hot drinks in the winter.
With a vegetable peeler or sharp knife, peel yellow rind from lemon
in thin strips. In a saucepan, combine rind, juice and water; bring
to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 3 minutes. Cool, strain and
stir in sweetener. Store in glass jar or bottle in refrigerator. TO
