How to make a delicious lemonade?

Answer 1

My kids go crazy for lemon cordial, and so does everyone else I know, and it makes the drink go much further too. I triple the following quantities to make two litres of syrup. You can also dilute it with soda water if you want lemon squash, and it can also be used to make a fantastic lemon lime & bitters.

The recipe:

1 lemon

2 cups sugar

3 teaspoons tartaric acid

2 cups boiling water

Peel lemon into basin.

Cut off white pith and discard.

Slice lemon thinly and add to peel in basin. Add hot water, sugar and tartaric acid. Stir until dissolved, cover and refrigerate overnight, then strain and bottle.

Store in refrigerator to prevent souring.

Dilute using one part syrup to seven parts water.

Answer 2

2 lemons

2 limes

superfine sugar

lots of ice

basil sprigs

Squeeze the juice from the lemon and limes and strain into a pitcher. Stir in the sugar (about a 1/2 cup is good) until it disolved completely. Put citrus skins and basil sprigs into pitcher. Fill with ice cubes and cold water.

Answer 3

squeeze the lemon juice. and use honey instead on sugar etc. Honey is REALLY healthy

Answer 4

Just lemon juice and sugar to taste  -

Although at school we used to boil the lemon zest and juice with water and sugar and cool.
