Moroccan Lemonade

• for the syrup:
• 4 inch slice of organic orange rind
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/2 tablespoon of dried rose pedals  (available in natural living stores)
• 2 tablespoon of dried hibiscus flower (available in natural living stores)
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of sugar

for the lemonade:

• 3/4 cup of fresh pressed lemon juice
• half gallon of water

I got the orange rind of the one orange I grew over the last year…

These are the dry ingredients for the syrup.

Add to water and sugar in a sauce pan, and bring to a boil for 1 min. Dissolve the sugar and turn off the heat. Let steep for about 30min.

Meanwhile, juice about 5 lemons to get 3/4 cup of lemon juice.

Pour the lemon juice in a large container. Pour the syrup through a sieve and add to the container. Fill with water, and chill the lemonade. Serve with ice cubes.
