juice of 8 lemons, 8 cups of water, 2 cups sugar, 1Tbsp citric acid, 1 Tbsp Epsom salts, simmer until sugar desolves, can add grated zest of 2 lemons too :)

Epsom Salts is basically magnesium and maybe it was included in the recipe because it enhanced some property of the lemon or had some beneficial effect on taste, storage times or just plain health. So just because we cannot understand why it has been included, doesn't mean it shouldn't be there.

Sorry harrislucinda. I have had some of my recipes savaged by people who say "I'd leave out this ingredient or that ingredient and use such and such instead". It is most frustrating because the recipes I post always work and leaving bits out changes it to something that doesn't work.
I have also been told off for criticising other people's recipes, and IMO you criticised antoniab's recipe in order to promote your own version of the same recipe.
