INSTRUCTIONS

1 For the Lemon Pepper Syrup, mix sugar, water and black pepper in medium saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; let steep 15 minutes. Strain through a very fine mesh sieve. Stir in lemon extract; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2 For the Lemon Pepper Sugar, mix sugar, black pepper and lemon zest until no lumps remain. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
3 Place 1 tablespoon of the Syrup in shallow bowl. Dip rims of 6 (10-ounce) glasses into Syrup, then dip in Lemon Pepper Sugar to coat. Fill glasses halfway with ice; set aside.
4 To prepare Lemonade, whisk water, remaining Syrup, lemon juice and tamarind concentrate in large pitcher until well blended. Pour into prepared glasses. Refrigerate until chilled or serve immediately. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges, if desired.
