Homemade lemonade

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals Drinks
The secret to the perfect lemonade is balance: the acidity of the citric acid, the sweetness of the sugar, and the harmony of the essential oils from the peel. Using sugar syrup (instead of granulated sugar) ensures that every sip is equally sweet and the sugar doesn't crunch under your teeth.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Lemon squeezer
  • Jug
  • Long spoon

Instructions

1 ✓

Roll the lemons on the counter with your palm, then squeeze out the juice.

Tip: Rolling breaks the fibres, so the fruit releases more juice.
2 ✓

Dissolve the sugar in a little (approx. 100 ml) hot water to get a syrup. Stir in the lemon juice.

Tip: Liquid sugar syrup mixes immediately with cold water too (homogeneous solution).
3 ✓

Top up with the cold water, toss in the ice and the mint.

Tip: Slap the mint with your palm slightly before putting it in to release the essential oils from the leaves.
4 ✓

Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.

Tip: As the ice melts the drink dilutes, calculate this into the seasoning.

Recipe FAQ

Why did it turn bitter?
You soaked the lemon peel in it for too long, or you included the white pith. The white part (albedo) contains bitter compounds.
How do I dissolve sugar in cold water?
With difficulty. That's why it's worth dissolving it in a little hot water first (making a syrup) and diluting that with the cold water.
