Too many lemons on the tree? Then try your hand at this easy lemonade recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups lemon juice
- 5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons of grated rind of lemon
- 2 teaspoons Epsom salts
- 25g packet tartaric acid
- 1 teaspoon citric acid
- Sprig of mint
- 1kg sugar (For a low GI version, replace this with 2/3kg of Xylotol)
Method
Place sugar and water in a saucepan and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients except the mint. Bring to the boil for 5 minutes before cooling the mixture. Serve ice cold with a sprig of mint.
For other citrus drinks, replace the lemon juice and rind with the rind and juice of a different citrus such as limes or tangelo. If you use a very sweet juice (eg ripe orange) you will need to reduce the sugar in the recipe.
