When you were struggling with the peeler, I actually thought you were setting up a sponsorship bit where you sell us a new peeler. But nope, you were just struggling. I respect that.

I have been making this for a number of years. Absolutely the best! Way to give credit to chef John!

Great recipe. I love when all parts of the citrus fruit are used, not just the juice. That peel has TONS of flavour thanks to its natural essential oils and gives a special aroma kick to the drink. Other than that it is also full of vitamins. And yes, as you mentioned, the white part should come off as much as possible as it gives bitterness that is too penetrating and not enjoyable.
I have a mojito lemonade recipe on my channel that uses those same principles to get a power flavour out of those limes. Great work! Let's refresh the world one lemonade at a time 😀

Oh my STARS! What a BEAUTIFUL painting of Lemons! Gorgeous!
I just happen to have a bag of Lemons. I believe I’ll try this recipe soon. Thank you. Also, I love how you make cooking sound stress free!

I'm always amazed at how fragrant lemon rind is -- should never throw it away! Even dried and sitting in the freezer ages later still super fragrant. Anyway, time to go check my rinds-in-sugar and squeeze those lemons! Can't wait ;))

Interesting video about State Fair Lemonade. Usually at the Fair's around me they make their Lemonade by having Sugar water and add fresh lemons and shake it in order to make the Lemonade. Never heard of this way to make it, so will have to give it a try. Always enjoy how encouraging and thoughtful you are to your viewers.

"Not the best at estimating sizes of vessels" 😂 lemonade looks incredible! I don't know if I could wait the full 12 hours 😁

I really good rendition of this is adding 2 limes and using their zest and like 4 thin slices of ginger to the sugar with the lemon zest.

Do you need to let peels + sugar in room temperature or refrigerator for 2-12 hours

Any reason you can add the lemon juice to the pot with the peels sugars and water?

The best lemonade I ever had was at Dollywood probably made like you just did.

Looks like a lot of work with peeling so I will think about cocking this twice😅
But it looks so delicious

In the future, when using the peeler, DONT SCRAPE UP, towards you, ALWAYS scrape down!!
You're WELCOME!!

Do I let it sit in the fridge or out of the fridge for the 12 hours?
