OLD-FASHIONED LEMONADE - makes about 2 litres
Ingredients
- 9 large lemons
- 130g granulated sugar
- 1 litre cold water
- lots of ice!
Method
- Juice 8 lemons and cut the last one into thin slices.
- Pour the sugar directly into the jug. Slowly add water, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and continue to mix together.
- Top up the jug with as much ice as it will hold. Throw in lemon slices for decoration and an extra zingy kick.
Tip
Save old jam jars and use them for transporting and serving lemonade – perfect if you run out of glasses at home.
