Lemonade is a taste familiar to us since childhood. How nice it is to drink a cold, crackling drink with ice when the temperature outside the air goes over forty degrees. Probably, in the world there is not a single person who at least once in his life has not tried lemonade. It refreshes and invigorates our body.
However, in our time, lemonade has ceased to be like the divine drink that we drank in childhood. Today he has lost his aroma and taste of lemons. Have you recently tried factory lemonade, which at least remotely reminded you of lemons? I think no. All modern drinks are made from powders, dyes, flavors "identical to natural" and preservatives.
And so I want again in the summer, in the heat, to quench my thirst with a fragrant fresh cool drink.
That's why I suggest you and I learn how to make lemonade at home. It does not take much time and does not require any special skills. And the pleasure received later cannot be compared with anything.
So, prepare lemonade at home. How to make lemonade we will be prompted by numerous recipes, in large quantities, written on culinary sites on the Internet. And here is one of them.
Homemade lemonade.
The ingredients that we need for this: Water - 1.5 liters; fresh lemons - six pieces, sugar and additional ingredients to taste.
In order to make classic lemonade at home, we need to take a carafe with purified drinking water, squeeze the juice of lemons there, put six tablespoons of sugar, mix it all and put in the refrigerator.
But this is the easiest way, I call it the way for the impatient.
If you want to make really tasty unusual lemonade at home, you will need some more additional ingredients.
For example, you can add pre-crushed mint leaves to your lemonade, which will give your lemonade a pleasant spicy flavor.
If you do not like peppermint, then you can use lemon zest infused with alcohol as a flavoring additive. But it will already be a drink for adults.
In general, you can well add any spices that you like to taste and get new tastes of lemonade all the time.
I have another longer recipe for making lemonade at home.
A three-liter bottle is taken, filled with water (boiled, of course), then we add two lemons, previously washed, and one large orange, sliced in circles. We put six to seven tablespoons of sugar in there, mix all this until sugar is dissolved in water, and put in the refrigerator for the night.
In the morning we take a bottle out of the refrigerator, filter our lemonade through a strainer into a jug and voila, our lemonade is ready.
It is best to pre-prepare ice cubes in the freezer and serve lemonade with ice at the moment of true thirst.
In fact, there are still many different ways of making lemonade, and here it all depends on your desire and your preferences.
For example, you can add sparkling water to it immediately before drinking lemonade , then you will get real carbonated lemonade.
Usually, this is extremely pleasing to children. And, if you are planning a children's holiday, then the most appropriate decision will be to make delicious, and most importantly healthy lemonade at home. At the same time, the children will be satisfied, and you will be calm for the health of the kids. This is a great way out, provided that in our time it is so difficult to find products that would not be scary to give to our children.
Let them have a happy unforgettable taste of childhood, which will accompany them through life.
