A lot of recipes call for lemon zest- grated peel of a lemon. So the question is, what do you do with the left over lemon after you have used all the peel for zest? The answer is some homemade Lemonade.
Recipe:
- Lemons
- Sugar
- Water
Take your lemons, cut them in half, and squeeze them over a bowl. You will get more lemon juice from the lemons if you use a juicer but squeezing by hand will work in a pinch. Make sure you don't get any seeds in the lemon juice.
Now, measure how much lemon juice you have. Based on how much lemon juice you have, you will want that much water and sugar. So, if you have 1/2 cup lemon juice, you will want 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water.
Place the sugar and water in a sauce pot and bring it to a boil until the sugar is dissolved. This way your lemonade will be sweet, but won't have sugar constantly falling to the bottom of the pitcher.
In a pitcher, mix your lemon juice and sugar water together. Now, take your measurement, in this example it was 1/2 cup, and double it. You will want to add this amount of cold water to your lemonade. So, in our example, add 1 cup cold water. Stir your lemonade and taste. Add more water, a little at a time, until you like the taste of the lemonade.
Baking Tips:
- You should get about 2 tbsp. lemon juice per lemon.
