Lemonade
2 lemons, 100g sugar, 500ml boiling water.
Thinly peel the lemons. I use a potato peeler. Put the peel in a jug with 100g sugar (the original recipe was 4 oz sugar, but this is too sweet and 3 oz is too tart, I think), add the boiling water. Stir, cover and leave to cool. Squeeze the lemons, add the juice and pulp, strain into a bottle and refrigerate. Dilute as much as you like.
A splash added to iced (milkless, of course) tea is lovely too.
Perfect, thanks. I shall make some tomorrow.
In the States, a mix of one part lemonade to two parts iced tea is called an Arnold Palmer. Very refreshing on hot summer days.
Friends have told me that you can make tea by adding teabags to cold water. I did that today and didn’t add any sugar, so the lemonade flavour really came through.
Solar tea! I put a pitcher with water and a few teabags in the sunshine yesterday afternoon. Brewed in an hour! No need for sugar as the lemonade has enough when mixed.
Arnold Palmer came up in a Stephen King book I was reading last week. i had to stop reading to look up what it was
Meant three parts iced tea
Thank you, I shall make some tonight
