Lemonade

Everyone knows to make lemon juice.

Lemon juice with sugar and soda, lemon juice with salt and soda, lemon juice with ginger extract / nannari syrup and water, lemon juice with crushed mint... Even lemon juice with green chillies!! We have heard it all and probably drank it all.

There is nothing special in my juice. Just the ordinary - sugar and salt and water.

Upside: Get nearly 1 liter of lemonade from 1 lime.

Downside: Consume immediately

But how do you get nearly 1 liter juice from 1 lemon? It is all in the process!!

Ingredients:

Lime - 1 large

Salt - 1 tsp

Sugar - 5 tbsp

Chilled water - 750 ml

Garnish : mint leaves and ice

Method:

Cut the lime into 4 segments and remove all the seeds/pips. Very important to remove ALL the seeds.

Take your largest mixer bowl and throw in the deseeded lime with the skin on.

Top with salt and sugar.

Blitz these dry, without any water.

Add 1 cup water and run the mixer in intervals. The lime must be properly crushed.

At last add in the rest of the water and run the mixer for 1/2 a minute.

Taste and adjust. Add more water.

Take your glass and layer with ice and mint leaves.

Pour in the lemonade without sieving.

Consume immediately.

Remember - This juice turns a little sour because of the lemon rind if it is not consumed immediately.
