How do you make home made lemonade??
ok... it needs to be for 2 liters and it needs to be sweet, not sour.
Answers:
uuhhh, lets see...squeeze 6 oranges and add vinegar and water.
Take several unwaxed lemons and wash, then slice. Squeeze them slightly to get juices moving.
Place them in a jug which can withstand boiling water.
Add sugar, honey or sweetener and then boiling water. Leave soaking to cool, test the flavour and adjust accordingly and then chill until cold. Use ice cubes for extra coldness and enjoy.
It will take a lot of lemons. I would say 3 parts lemon juice to 1 part water and a few cups of sugar. Or maybe 1/2 lemon to 1/2 part of water.
just a tip, cause i don't know how to do it, but add a couple of mint leaves in it at some point..it adds a nice taste
The lemons should be room temperature or warmer before the juice is removed. This will make it easier to squeeze the juice from the fruit.
Warm lemons by placing in the microwave. First poke the skin of the lemon with a fork, being careful not to poke all the way through the skin to the flesh.
Place the lemon(s) in the microwave on high for 20 to 30 seconds.
Lemons can also be warmed by placing them in a bowl and pouring boiling water over them. Allow them to sit in the hot water for 30 seconds.
After the lemons have been warmed, roll them on a solid surface using the palm of your hand. Roll until you feel the flesh softening.
After rolling the lemons, cut them in half crosswise. Place one half of the lemon on the juicer, apply pressure and twist the lemon to remove the juice. The juice can also be removed by squeezing the lemon by hand.
Remove all the seeds from the juicer once you have finished.
The extra pulp that has collected in the bottom of the juicer can be added to the lemon juice once the seeds have been removed, unless pulp-free juice is required. If it is necessary to use pulp-free juice, strain juice to separate any pulp that may have gotten into the juice.
In a saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil and then add 1 1/2 cup of sugar.
Continue to cook over medium low heat until sugar has completely dissolved.
Remove from the heat and add 1 1/2 cups of fresh lemon juice. Stir to mix thoroughly and then allow the mixture to cool. The lemon syrup can be stored in the refrigerator until needed or it can be mixed with water to produce lemonade.
Option: For additional flavor, add 3/4 tablespoon of grated lemon zest when adding the fresh lemon juice.
To make lemonade, add lemon syrup to 4 1/2 cups of water. Taste to test for sweetness. If necessary, add a little more water. Refrigerate until chilled or serve over ice. This should be perfect.
Here is simple receipe to make sweet lemonade at home.
Step 1. Take one litre of water in big pan, add two kg of sugar and bring it boil. Let this mixer cool to normal temp. for atleast 4-5 hrs. You must switch off the stove when it starts boiling. (Remember only one boil).
Step 2. Take 2 kg of lemons, divide them into two halves and squeeze the juice with help of a squuezer into a separate container.
step 3. Mix the lemon juice into the suger syrup you had prepared. But remember, the syrup should not be warm otherwise the Lemonade will turn sour.
Stir well for 2-3 minutes.
Step 4. Take glass bottles washed and dried properly atleast few hrs. before. There should not be any moisture in the bottles. Sieve the mixure and pour them into the bottles.
There is no need to refrigerate these bottles.
Step 5 Pour about 60 ml in a glass, add water and ice and stir and believe me it will taste very fresh. u can add a pinch of salt if need be.
1 3/4 cups white sugar
8 cups water
1 1/2 cups lemon juice
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups water.
*get water
*add sugar until its sweet enough...
*make sure it is not cold water it should be normal...
* then add lemons to taste.
REMEMBER.....
*never ever put the lemons first because when u try to add the sugar it will be very hard to get sweet.
*make sure the water doesnt have ice cubes or its cold because it will also be hard to make it sweet.
