Wash the lemons in hot water. Finely grate the zest and squeeze the lemons. Combine the lemon juice and 1-2 tablespoons of lemon zest in a saucepan with the sugar, salt, and tap water. Heat gently and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove the prepared lemon syrup from the heat and let it cool slightly. Strain it through a sieve into a tightly sealed bottle, let it cool completely, and store it in the refrigerator. Top up the syrup with cold mineral water as needed, roughly in a ratio of 1:10, and serve in glasses with a sliced ​​lemon and ice cubes. The prepared amount of syrup is enough for about 2 liters of mineral water.
