Meanwhile, roll lemons around on your counter to soften. Cut in half crosswise, and squeeze into a liquid measuring cup. Add pulp to the juice, but discard any seeds. Continue juicing until you have 1 1/2 cups fresh juice and pulp.

Recipe Tips
To make ahead, refrigerate the cooled simple syrup for up to one month. Continue with Step 3 when ready to serve.
Nine medium lemons should yield about 1 1/2 cups juice and pulp, but the number required will depend on the size you use.
