Instructions
- Cut the lemons into wedges. Place in a food processor and run the processor until the lemons have been broken down. Tip into a large saucepan.
- Add 3 liters of water and the citric acid. Leave it for couple of hours.
- Pour the lemonade through a metal strainer over a large pitcher. You may need to do this in batches so that you can empty the lemon pieces out of the strainer.
- Add the sugar and mix the juice until sugar dissolves. Pour lemonade into clean bottles. Store one bottle in the fridge and keep the rest in the freezer.
- To serve, dilute with water – 1 part cordial to 3 or 4 parts water. To make fizzy lemonade, dilute with sparkling mineral water or soda water.
Recipe Notes
1. To get different but equally good taste try mixing lemon with some oranges or lime. Experiment yourself with other combinations.
2. Lemon (oranges, lime) should be used whole, the rind contribute to the taste. To make sure they are properly washed, soak them into some water, add 1,2
teaspoon of bi-soda or splash with the apple cider and leave them for couple of hours. Rinse, cut and they are ready for lemonade making.
