Fresh Black Grape Lemonade

4 cups seedless black grapes
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
7-8 cups cold water, divided
Zest of 3 lemons
Juice of 7 lemons (about 1 cup)
 
In a large saucepan, add grapes, 1 cup of the sugar, 1 cup of the water, and the lemon zest.  Simmer over medium heat, mashing grapes as they soften.  Once all the grapes have been mashed, let the mixture simmer gently for an additional 10-15 minutes so that the grape skins release more of their color.  Remove from heat and strain, discarding the solids.  Let cool.
 
Add grape mixture to a pitcher.  Stir in lemon juice, and remaining sugar and cold water.  Taste, and adjust the water and sugar to your liking.  Refrigerate until chilled.
