Ultimate Lemonade

Makes about 2 quarts

Peel of 1 Lemon
½ of a Vanilla Bean
1 Cup of Sugar

In a small saucepan bring the sugar and water to a boil. Add the lemon peel and split and scrape the vanilla bean into the pot and simmer for 5 minutes. In a pitcher, combine the lemon juice and strained simple syrup. Add 4 cups of water and stir.

  2. I'd go with a light Rum(toss in a little mint, lemon Mojito), but Vodka(Ultimate Lemon Drop) would do too. You might want to make a more concentrated batch, 3 cups instead of 4 of water, before you mix a bit with booze, might yield a better flavor.
