SUMMERTIME LEMONADE

I tried the best lemonade recipe today from a  website  "Former Chef".  I happened to have a whole bag of lemons on hand. !!  I adjusted the reccipe by 1/2 so that I could  "test"  it.   If you really want something refreshing over the summer or in our case when we travel with the 5th Wheeler - this is it.   Even hubby liked it !!  I will definitely be making this recipe again.  !!!

Original Recipe :
Make a Syrup of 2 cups water and 2 cups sugar .  Just heat in a saucepan to dissolve the  sugar.  Yields 3 cups syrup.   I put each lemon (1 at a time) in the microwave for 20 secs, then rolled it with my hand. This softens the lemon and expells much more juice when juicing.  ( You can do this with oranges also when juicing for orange juice )   I then juiced 4 good sized lemons and got 10 oz of juice.  So another 2 or 3 lemons would likely give me the 2 cups required for a full recipe.  I did add the pulp as I like it  and I added the lemon zest and some grated lemon peel to the juice.  If you dont like pulp or rind - dont do this part.

To Make the Lemonade :: 
Recipe #1  Mix 1.5 cups syrup, 2 cups lemon juice, 4 cups water
Recipe #2  Mix    2 cups sryup, 2 cups lemon juice, 4 cups water
Of course you can make it sweeter by adding more syrup  OR  weaker by adding more water. 
Add lots of ice and enjoy !!

    I am an artist. I have taken numerous classes and workshops since 2004 as shown under About in my CV. I work out of  my home. When painting on canvas, I often loose track of all time. I am alone and quiet, peaceful and excited, ambitious and energetic.  I am in place between body and mind - my hands doing something that my mind makes them do and ultimately - another painting !

    I love what I am able to do and
    I look forward to you following me on this journey !

    Initially my plan will be to post a few times a week and change as time permits.
