Hi you all!!
Summer is coming any day now to the sunny South Africa, and
I am lucky enough to have a lemon tree in my back yard… So, I decided to start
making : lemonade!!! (Of course some
lemons will be kept for tequila!! )
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Method
Melt the sugar and water together and boil for about 5 – 10 minutes.
This should give you 2 cups of syrup. Mix the 2 cups syrup with 1 cup lemon
juice. This makes the Lemonade Syrup.
The Lemonade Syrup you then dilute with water, or soda water
- if you prefer a little bubbly – to your taste.
Remember to keep to the ratios:
1 cup water : 1 cup sugar
2 cups syrup : 1 cup lemon juice
Enjoy ICE COLD with some fresh mint leaves, or a slice of
lemon, for a refreshing summer time drink.
For an inspired cocktail: mix with vodka or Malibu…
Yours in oil and veggies…. And summer chills!!
Risch
