Lemonade

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!!
