Homemade Lemonade
The best homemade lemonade tasted has to be from The Hotel Con Corazon in Granada, Nicaragua. I drank gallons of the stuff! Each country we visited had it's own local soft drink. Lemonade was a favourite but we also had pineapple, papaya, and various other fruit mixtures. Some were better than others. Some had even slightly fermented and were quite revolting!
Today with my new squeezer from Mexico me and my helper tried to recreate lemonade. Well the squeezer broke on the first squeeze and we resorted to our traditional glass one.
You will need :
1 cup of lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
4 cups of water
1 cup of sugar
First make a syrup by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of water.
Squeeze 1 cup of lemons.
Mix and add 3 more cups of water.
We poured ours into a lovely bottle and added a tag. Keep in the fridge.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Couldn't resist that one.
Had a quick search for lemon related products and look what I found!

Thank you for the link! I must say that the first time I had real bottled British lemonade I was taken by surprise- I was not expecting the fizz! The best lemonade I've ever had was from the county fair though and was more like this recipe: http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-lemon-shake-ups-at-92552
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that recipe next time. Love county fairs!
