Homemade lemonade
Yum, you can always drink a refreshing and cold lemonade! Especially on top of all the delicious Christmas food.
The recipe for lemonade below is a concentrate and must therefore be mixed up.
You will need this:
700 g cane sugar
8 organic lemons
1/2 liter of water
Optional: ginger
How to do it:
- Boil sugar and water together until all the sugar has dissolved
- Remove the sugar layer from the heat and add freshly squeezed juice from 8 lemons and grated rind from 3 lemons to the sugar layer. If you want to have a taste of ginger add slivers of ginger to the juice now.
- Put the juice in the fridge and let it steep overnight.
- Strain any pieces of ginger from the juice and pour the juice into a scalded bottle.
When the juice is to be drunk, add water or sparkling water to taste.
We hope you have been inspired to make a homemade gift for someone you care about.
