Preserved Lemons-ade

Preserved lemons sliced on a mandoline for preserved lemons-ade.
ACTIVE TIME: 10 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour 10 minutes
Yield: 2 cups
I've always loved lemonade, but generally it's just sweet and tart; there's not a lot going on beneath the surface. By using preserved lemons, all that changes. There's real depth of flavor here, and the bit of salt that comes across balances the sweetness and mingles with the fizz. And yes, you could pour some vodka in there...free country.
