Fresh pear and lemon lemonade

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
Pear is a 'quiet' fruit: its flavour is soft, buttery, and unobtrusive, so it requires special treatment in lemonade. Simply slicing it in isn't enough; it must be pureed for its flavour to stand out against the dominant lemon. This drink is thicker than an average lemonade, offering an almost nectar-like experience.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Blender
  • Large jug
  • Long spoon

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel, core, and dice the pears. Immediately place in the blender with half the lemon juice.

Tip: Get acid on it immediately so the puree stays beautiful and white.
2 ✓

Blend until smooth.

Tip: If very thick, add a tiny bit of water.
3 ✓

In the jug, mix the sugar with the remaining lemon juice and a little water until dissolved.

Tip: Make a 'syrup', because granulated sugar dissolves with difficulty in cold water.
4 ✓

Pour in the pear puree and the remaining water.

Tip: Mix thoroughly.
5 ✓

Add the ice and mint.

Tip: Serve immediately, as the pear puree may settle over time.

Recipe FAQ

Why does it turn brown?
Pear flesh oxidises quickly when exposed to oxygen. Lemon juice (ascorbic acid) prevents this, so it is important that it meets the lemon immediately upon blending.

  • 50 ml Freshly squeezed lemon juice
