I’m going to post a few recipes which we’ve tried and refined until we came out with some pretty good results.
First up is a simple lemonade, but with a couple of modifications.
You’ll need:
2 lemons (enough for 1 cup of lemon juice)
1 lime (lime juice)
1 1/4 cup of simple syrup (1 cup of sugar; 3 tablespoons brown sugar; 1 1/4 cup of boiling water)
6 cups of cold fresh water from the fridge! We have a large juice jug that we fill up, seems to be about the right ratio I like using the hand juicer to get the most out of the lemon, including some pulp. The lime and brown sugar adds to the overall flavor. Sometimes I’ll increase the lemon/lime ratio and reduce the sugar a bit, but that probably depends on the size of jug you have.
