Roll lemons on hard surface until soft. Cut lemons in half and squeeze out juice. Strain into a large pitcher. Add sugar and 1 cup water. Mix until lemon pulp is crushed. Add remaining water and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add sugar, if needed. Slice lemons and add for color. Add ice cubes and serve.
The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
-- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"
