Grilled Lemonade

Ingredients 

5 medium lemons

1 lemon, sliced into rings

1 cup white sugar, plus additional for coating

4 cups water

4 cups ice

Preparation

1. On a cutting board, halve the lemons and coat the cut sides with a thin layer of sugar.
2. Place the lemons on an 11" griddle pan cut side down and cook them over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, until caramelized.
3. Remove lemons from the griddle and rest them for 5-10 minutes.
4. Juice lemons over a fine-mesh strainer into a half-gallon (2 liter) pitcher. 
5. Once all the lemons are juiced, add the white sugar, lemon rings, water, and ice (see note). Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
6. NOTE: Do not add the ice if preparing ahead of time. Add the ice immediately before serving. Enjoy!
