Lemonade, limeade, orangeade
Lime and lemon
To make any citrus flavoured drink subsitute the fruit or a combination of fruits of your choice. Any citrus fruit can be used, and you can adjust the sweetness to taste just prior to drinking.
6 large lemons
5oz castor sugar
2.5 pints of water
Zest of the lemons and place the peel in a large bowl. Juice all six and add the juice to the bowl along with the sugar.
Pour over 2.5 pints of boiling water, and stir well untilthe sugar is dissolved. Cover and leave to cool and infuse overnight.
Next day, strain the peel and any pips out of your lemonade, refridgerate, then serve with ice, mint sprigs and slices of fresh lemons in large glasses. It keeps 3/4 days in the fridge. When it's done - make more!
Orange and lemon, lime and lemon, grapefruit and orange - loads of delicious combos!
