There’s nothing that says 'Cyprus Spring' quite like a lemon tree heavy with fruit. It’s peak lemon season here, and since my garden is full of them, I’m making a batch of the delicious, refreshing lemonade my mom used to make when I was a kid. One sip takes me straight back to those sunny childhood afternoons! It’s simple, zesty, and carries all the love of a family recipe.
Vegan, nut free, soy free | 1,5L | DRINK
Ingredients:
- 3kg lemons
- 1kg sugar
Steps:
1.Squeeze the lemons and add them into a bowl.
2.Weigh the lemon juice, mine was 1L, so I added 1kg of sugar.
3.Combine the juice with the sugar for a couple of minutes.
4.Cover and set aside.
5.Combine twice per day for the next 2 days.
6.Once the sugar has fully dissolved, it's ready.
7.Keep it in the fridge and serve 1 part of lemonade with 4 parts of water (still or sparkling).
Notes:
*You can flavor the lemonade with fresh mint, lavender, geranium or rosemary. Add a few leaves of the herb you want to use and let it infuse the lemonade for at least 24 hours.
*You can use half of the amount of sugar if you want it less sweet!
Enjoy!
