A lovely refreshing drink
A quick recipe to create the perfect lemonade. Use it on its own or as a base for cocktails.
Equipment;
Large Air tight bottle - Sterilsed
Bowls
Measuring Scales
Measuring Jug
Whisk or Spoon
Funnel
This makes enough for 1 full litre bottle and 1/2 a bottle
Ingredients;
6 Lemons - juiced and save the zest
200g Caster Sugar - Double check the brand if your vegan
1 1/2 litres of cold water
Optional Flavours;
Blackberry
Strawberry
To begin, sterilse your bottle either by Carefully pouring about 200ml of hot water into it, closing it up and shake it gently. Pour the water out and set aside to dry and cool.
Now for the hard part, zest all the lemons! Use the zest for tea, in biscuits or part of a marinade.
Juice all the lemons being sure to remove any seeds.
Weigh out the sugar and pour it over the lemon juice; stir it gently.
Now add 1 litre of the water, stir this until the sugar is dissolved. Taste the lemonade and if it is too sweet add another 250ml and repeat until you reach the desired taste. I used 1500ml as this resulted in still being sweet but not lemon face sweet.
Using the funnel pour into your bottle and seal.
You can serve this over ice with mint or rosemary.
