Gather your ingredients.

Peel 1 lemon with a vegetable peeler and reserve the peels.

Make our homemade simple syrup recipe, adding the peels from 1 lemon during the cooking process.

Juice all but 2 lemons, cutting those 2 into wheels.

Pour warm simple syrup over the sliced lemons in a large carafe or punch bowl.
