Directions

In a saucepan combine the first five ingredients. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain and reserve the liquid

Place the leeks in the pan and add the strained lemon stock. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the leeks are tender, but not mushy. Frain and transfer to a serving dish.
